Digital Speed Challenge #857: Long Exposure

[OldCrow]

Digital Speed Challenge #857 Long Exposure -- this week we are not looking for speed but images with slow shutter speeds, at least 1/2 sec or longer. Think motion blur, ICM, cloud trails, light painting or crowd movement. You may chose any subject you like. Dim down the light, lower that ISO and close down the shutter to get your long exposure image.

1. Camera: Any DIGITAL CAMERA is allowed.
2. Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.

I have a lot of blurred water pictures, but when looking at slow shutter speed shots, this one, 1.6 seconds to achieve f/22, jumped out at me.

Nite on the street, while waiting for a marathon red light to turn green.

A nice assortment of long exposure images this week.

Rosalie-I'm always amazed at the amount of light one single candle flame can put out.

Ed-I like your choice of black and white for your smooth water image.

Ken-that small aperture and long shutter speed worked out well in this image.

Terry-that's a wild almost symeterical abstract light painting and good use of your wait time.

Terry gets the nod this week with Ken a very close second. HMs to Ed and Rosalie.

Thank you all for your participation and well done everyone.

Thenk you for the HM. I must confess, I don't understand what I am looking at in Ken's photo at all, and I am not absolutely sure about Terry's either.

Thanx for the nod, I really like this type of Photography.
