Shot on a D7100 on tripod using a long exposure and ND filter to lengthen the time and get motion blur in the clouds and waterInspiration
I was wanting to create a milky motion blur on the water specifically when planning this shot. Ranitoto island is a very distinctive landmark in Auckland and makes a striking silhouette.Editing
I have brightened the shadows and lowered the highlights i post to get a balanced image as well as some fine tuning of white balance and saturation.In my camera bag
Nikon D7100, Sigma 70-200 f2.8, Tamron 24-70 f2.8, Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, Nikon 50mm f1.8, Giottos Tripod and ball head, Nikon speedlight SB600 + sundry itemsFeedback
In this shot I was specifically wanting the longest exposure possible so I stepped down to f18 or f22 and added the ND filter to allow me roughly 15-30 seconds. this will give you the milky flat water and the blurred clouds. Then a steady tripod is a must.
