Good afternoon,

Got a red snapper tripod for christmas so have finally been able to go out and try some longer exposures! Just looking for C&C really, I think some of them (if not all of them!) may be a bit dark...

Shot on 40d, Tamron 17-50 non VC, processed in lightroom.

Thanks for looking!
 
i like the tyre swing shot - very vintage.

maybe in pp just increase the light coming through the trees and warm it up a notch. have a play
 
no filters, just bracketed :)

thanks for the feedback, how would you suggest bringing the light through the trees more? at the moment i'm only really processing the image as a whole rather than individual bits (mainly because i don't know how!)
 
Stupid question, but still getting my head around photography: why did these need long exposures? How would they have looked different (save for perhaps noise) if you had just upped the iso and shot at a normal shutter speed?
 
Very good, I like them all :)

CC: The first shot's foreground looks a bit unevenly illuminated if I'm being picky.
Kind of like how HDR "messes" up sometimes and creates patchy areas.

Upping the ISO would mean having more grain in the picture.

The photos above are not "long" exposures though (going by Exif details), but 0.1s handheld would have caused blurring. In addition, as bracketing was used, maintaining a perfect stillness would have also been difficult without a tripod.

Upping ISO and fast shutter speed (1/100 +) would have probably meant a low f/x, and losing back to front sharpness as well i.e. shallower dof.
 
Your photographs are really impressive.

I'd be interested to know which tripod you bought and why you chose that particular model.
