Pretty amazing!!!
I like all of these. How long of an exposure did you use?
Seems to give the fuzzy fog look to the photos.

@JasonFisher
Looks like different ISOs?
Did you shoot these with fast speeds?

20 second exposure.

These are tide pools in front of the dock. I started the exposure just before the ocean swell came through. That gave the foggy effect.

I used a tripod. The 10 stop filter is so dark that you have get focus and then put the filter on.

Neutral density filters are pretty fun to play around with. Great for waterfalls and rivers.

They are fun in cities too. Cool effects with traffic.

This lense has no image stabilization. So i prefer a tripod.

Sometime is hard to get the angle you want with a tripod, so i bump up the iso and shutter speed and go hand held and hope for the best.

When shooting handheld i shoot multiple shots in bursts. There is usually at least one sharp image in a burst.

Ive had this lens for a long time. I havent been using it much because I’ve been playing with newer ones more.

Its canons L glass and captures colors and details incredibly. And its dreamy bokeh effects are awesome.

The diffent iso looks probably came from post processing. Minor tweaks in abobe lightroom was all i did on these.

I took this one in the front of my house.
It has a diorama feel to it with the gabera daisies and front flowers in focus and bokeh behind.
You have to view it larger for the full effect. :slightly_smiling_face:

I like it. Bokeh is fun to experment with.

I forgot to say that these are HDR images too. Combining over exposed and under exposed images together for the high contast. It helps keep all the details and makes them pop.

This camera does it for me. In the past, i used photomatix software to do it.

I got really into HDR when it was pretty new, 10 years ago. Its pretty cool that newer cameras have it built in.

With photomatix I can take one image and tweak the exposure. Do it with several time and combine those “exposures” and get the hdr effect. I still use photomatix.

I also use topaz labs software. They give HDR effects with just a point and click. Really fast and easy.
