Slow exposure at Jordan Pond  

While I visited Acadia National Park this past few days, I went with intent on honing some skills that I don't always get to work on locally. I hoped to shoot the Milky Way, long exposures, HDR, Pano's and relaxation. Well I managed all of them but the Milky Way. Mother Nature didn't offer me the atmosphere I needed to accomplish that goal. On the morning of our last day in Acadia the rain gods delivered one heck of a rain storm. Rick and I were driving to the park and he said well we got two great weather days. I responded we got the best day today. Here is a 25 second exposure. I explained to Rick that this is what I needed to do some real slow exposures. Though the day before I did some 30 second exposures over Boulder Beach in night noon sunlight, to my vision this is what slow exposure is all about. Image made with the Canon 5dMiii and 24x105 lens. Tiffen IRND 10 stop filter f/8 ISO 100 25 second exposure. On top of my Sirui N3204x tripod and K30x ball head.  Edited in LRCC and On1 Effects.
