i did a little experimenting with some long exposures last night as the last rays of sun were fading. i set up my d3s with two filters..one was a very dark 10 stop filter and the other was a two stop polarizing filter. what would normally be a 1/30 sec exposure now became a 4 minute exposure. the lengthy exposure allows the water to become silky and the clouds become blurred. another benefit: harbor boats and kayaks that pass through the frame “disappear” because they do not remain long enough to be captured. i will post a 9 minute exposure later. i welcome any comments
