Rescued from an antique dealer. Selenium cell meter has succumbed to time and the auto function does not work. Sad.

Part 9 of the series on long exposures simply called Exposed
Just a series on long exposure daytime shots.
There were 2 birds sitting on each of the 2 posts. Despite the 12 stops in total and the very small aperture of f/25 I had to reduce the exposure to 60 seconds, the sun was just shining too bright on the even brighter water.

Another photo taken on a pre-Christmas foggy day - this time once the 'sun' was definitely down.
Post-processed with Lightroom - I used a selenium split-toning preset and then fiddled with the highlights/shadows split. This looks much cooler than the full-colour pic.

I love toned dark room prints! So much to learn here. The real thing is much more subtle than the scan, but never mind.
Selenium toning 1:25; Bleach 1:50; Amaloco T40 toning 1+9, no "C component" added (used for variable brown toning).

Part 2 of a new series on day time long exposures called Time Lapse
Time-lapse is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back.
Although this photo has nothing to do with cinematography the idea behind this has some similarities, and I just thought it was a nice title for a new series.
In this new series the emphasis will be more on architectural shots and combining this with long exposures.
The bridge on this photo is the St. Servaasbridge in Maastricht in Holland and is considered to be the oldest bridge in Holland in the oldest city (0 AD) in Holland. The bridge was built in the 13th century after the original much older Roman bridge collapsed.
I did a long exposure of this shot because I wanted to create a dynamic and dramatic feel. Architectural objects are very often cold, emotionless and even boring. That can be changed by choosing a dramatic angle - very often a low and wide angle - and/or by using the elements at play in your favor. The long exposure on the sky is meant to add the necessary emotion and drama.
Dutch description:
DIt is de bekende St. Servaasbrug in Maastricht en is gebouwd in de 13e eeuw nadat de oudere en originele Romeinse brug in elkaar is gestort.
Ik heb een long-exposure van deze brug gedaan omdat ik een dynamisch en dramatisch effect aan de foto wilde geven. Architectonische objecten zijn vaak koud en emotieloos en soms zelfs saai. Door echter de hoek en het perspectief te veranderen of de elementen die jou ter beschikking staan in jouw voordeel te benutten kan dat anders worden. De long exposure op de lucht is hier bedoeld om de nodige emotie en drama aan de foto toe te voegen.

La Défense is a major business district for the city of Paris. It is at the westernmost extremity of Paris' 10-km long Historical Axis, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris and continues along the Champs-Élysées, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe before culminating at La Défense.
Around its 100 metres – high Grande Arche and esplanade (le Parvis), the district holds many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises. With its 31.4 ha, its 72 glass-and-steel slick buildings including 14 high-rises above 150 metres, its 150 000 daily workers and 3.5 million square metres (37.7 M sqft) of office space, La Défense is Europe's largest business district.

Now this is clearly not an architectural shot. But I saw this tree when I went on a long trip yesterday to capture some buildings, I didn't capture one single building but a lot of trees and landscapes. Well, sometimes things don't turn out the way you've planned it and I have to say the objects that nature provides us with are far more impressive than any man made object. I had to capture this tree since I've noticed some nice cloud movement and saw that moon.

Again not an architectural shot. Some trees on a hill in the southern part of the Netherlands (Holland). I did a long exposure to capture the motion of the clouds.
