Location
This Long Exposure was taken at Lost Creek Falls near Cornucopia, WI. To get to this waterfalls you need to hike about 1.5 miles through the Northern woods which were in full Autumn splendor. The terrain is hilly but not rugged. When you reach the falls the limestone cliff that Lost Creek falls over is very striking.Time
We arrived at the falls just after noon which would normally be too sunny for a good long exposure. The sunlight was filtered by the forest leaves so it turned out very well.Lighting
I used an ND 8 filter to allow for the long exposure of 10 seconds at f20 and iso 50. The 25mm lens setting was perfect to pick up the full panorama of the cliff and waterfall.Equipment
Sony a7iii mirrorless camera with a Sony FE 24-105 mm f4 G OSS lens. ND 8 filter, tripod and remote shutter.Inspiration
I was really taken by the many layers of rock on the limestone ledge. Because of this the water cascaded perfectly over them creating the perfect environment for the long exposure.Editing
This RAW photo was processed in Lightroom and Photoshop before I created a .tif image for printing and a .jpg for online posting.In my camera bag
I carry a Nikon d500 camera with a Nikon 200-500 zoom for wildlife (Maybe the 1.4x converter) and the Sony a7iii. In the backpack for landscapes and macro. I have the Sony 24-105 and the Sony 70-300 which are both G OSS lens. I also may have the Sony 90mm macro lens and Rokinon 14mm wideangle lens in the backpack. If I am in the car, I will have 3 tripods used for different purposes ( Oben tabletop carbon fiber tripod, standard Manfroto and Gimblehead on a carbon fiber Benro tripod)Feedback
Long Exposure takes some experimentation to get it right. I usually take a series of different exposures and I like to work with an image that is underexposed vs overexposed. It just takes some time to learn the correct technique.
