5: Talking Pictures

There are two things I want to concentrate on. Well. There are multiple things but these two are in the forefront of my mind.

I am persuing some fashion work & I am persuing some fine art work. Splitting time between the both, although the weather has been awful, cold winter nights and I've not had any time apart from organising and stressing over studio work to continue. Actually, there are 3 things I want to persue.

The Fashion.
The Fine Art.
The Strange.

The images shown is my 5th or 6th attempt at some fine art work. An ND10 filter was used, a graduated filter, Manfrotto Tripod and a remote cable, actually no remote cable, just a steady finger for this one. It's not great but it's getting much closer to where I want to go.

Something I need to learn. Patience & Time. When I or you realise these are key components you'll get much closer to where you are heading. I still think I can rush the process but it rushes for no man.

I need to get off my backside in the next few weeks and play around some more with these typesof images,there is no excuse.

I am drawn to the tranquility of water.

Some info for you. When using an ND10 filter. A longish process, which as I say requires time.

Take the exposure of the ground, seperate exposure for the sky, calculate the graduated filter you need to balance out the scene, then you need to add the shutter speed for the final image with the ND10 filter screwed on.

This will be 10 stops more than your original exposure calculated above. There is a chart out there you can print off to acurrately assess these, but at least this points you in the right direction & it's late and my pregnant girlfriend needs to go to bed as do I..
