Captured these the other day. The conditions where less than ideal for photography. I took a drive to head out to a certain location but wound up getting sidetracked. I was very pleased with the results, especially since my fiance requested the first one to be blown up. Than showed them to my Mom and she was very impressed, liking the 3rd & 4th. All shot with tripod, B+W 10 stop ND Filter stacked with Panasonic 3 Stop ND Filter. Here is a small sample of that days work. Thanks for stopping and as always feedback welcomed.

was fortunate that the sun came out towards sunset, had been cloudy the entire day while out shooting long exposures. Must say I'm very impressed withe the results that I achieved.

An impressive shot TripleB.

My fav is the black and white.

Thank you for posting!
 
Jon, i happened to stumble on a fascinating cross myself lately which i will post for you to examin.

Like what you did in processing . Good work. I should buy some nd' filters but am a bit refrained about the hassle for exposure and focus.

I probably will need a 10/ big stopper for daylight right getting long shutter?
 
Excellent! Loved all the variations you posted to your gallery. Fav.: first in this series above. This is a unique (to me) use of the ND filters (which I do not own :-( ). I wonder what the image would have looked like without the NDing?

extra light will give more colour saturation and fantastic skies like this where the clouds are streaks.

A long shutter speed also helps in city when you want to eliminate people cars fast moving objects from the scenery..

I have a bridge i want to take whithout traffic. These high range nd filters will stop light entering the lens. So you can shoot with open aperture in day time to obtain slow shutterspeeds.
 
I pretty much thought of NDs as useful for "milky" moving water or avoiding burnout in extremely bright scenes. Good to know the skies thing. I had hear of the use to negate moving object but had completely forgotten.

Bill
 
eliminating people and stuff requires very low shutter so 20 30 second or more i guess so i would not try this with a 10 stopper arround noon better early morning late afternoon i guess...
 
Thanks Karen. Glad that you like them. I was on my way out to a different lighthouse & came across this old Family Cemetery in between these large farmer fields. I was fortunate that it was windy & that the sun decided to peak out at the end of the day. The first image was taken with the LX5 but appears that when i transferred it to a program called "stackables" to experiment with some p/p. That is it stripped out image data and replaced with iphone 5s. All these where taken with the LX5 or Pentak K5ii

Thanks Dave glad you like the.

I would totally like to see what you've captured. I know when using the LX5 the most challenging part is installing the extension tube, once the ND filter is attached you can still see your subject through the LCD. Which is just the opposite when using my dslr which you can't see subject when filter is attached. With my Pentax k5ii, you have to first focus on your subject, than switch camera to manual focus, than put ND filter on, than set remote timer. I still use both but I hear you it's quite time consuming. You pretty much just have to experiment on times, really just depends on available light. Thanks for commenting.

Impressive set, Jon.. easy work for you with a bunch of skilled advisers, (just kidding, LOL) .. your rig is delivering beautiful results requires only a magic touch of skilled hand, ;) - all keepers, thank you for sharing..

Best regards,
 
Thanks David. The sun decided to peak out right before sunset allowing me to capture the streaking like that you see in 3 & 4. Thanks for the comments.

jon
 
Thanks Bill. The weather was so dreary & the winds so strong that it seemed like the perfect conditions to go out and use the ND filters. It's all about having fun and experimenting
 
lol. Thanks Bruno. It seems the more images that I share using my ND filters that it hopefully sparks interest in our fellow forum members to go out and try. which is what its all about. I'm glad you like them all. I always appreciate a visit from a fellow "LX5" user for life. ;-)

Thanks Jerry. I really got lucky towards the end. It had been cloudy all day and with only 40 minutes till sunset the sun decided to show itself. It really made for a few great shots. Thanks for the kind words.
