Lauren 17 second exposure

Actually this image is perfect - great portrait of a young woman.

Thank you guys. I can't wait to get back and shoot some more.

Beautiful result of long exposure; the girl's image and the water are both unsettled which conveys certain emotion

Is this a night shot in strong moonlight? If it is daytime and with what appears to be fairly strong sunlight then without a filter and using Acros I'd have expected about 1/25th max at f10 so 17 seconds is more than 8 stops overexposed but this looks about right. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Love it! Adds mystery to the young women. Well done.

Beautiful photograph (and model) - love the dreamy mood !

@pentaxuser Bright daylight with a 10 stop filter. It was the only sunny day we had in two weeks and I wanted a more high cloudy kind of day but if Lauren can shoot you go for it. The exposure was 60th of a second at f10 according to my digital camera because my hand held meter battery died. Add the 10 stop filter and that brings it to 17 seconds. I tried to make sure that I put her face in the shade to avoid harsh shadows under her eyes and then to also have her face exposed well. I based the exposure on her mostly. Honestly i was scared i might mess this up because i am so used to using the meter not the digital camera but it worked. Also this is a scan of the negative not a print but it looks pretty accurate to the negative. I am not a good scanner person I have no idea how people get good scans.

Thanks Terry. I had seen "f 10" in your details and had assumed this was the aperture setting. I should have thought about what is a strange f stop setting and realised it wasn't an f stop but a 10 stop filter

The only scanning I can do near the sea is the horizon from the beach

Oh
I see it now LOL
