Landscape long exposures are somethings that I have always wanted to do, and was one of the factors that got me moving from normal point-and-shoots to DSLRs. Then, late last year, I got a set of cheap ND filters to try out daytime long exposures, finding out that the ND stops weren't high enough (and that the quality was rather dubious). In June, I finally decided to get a ten stop ND110 filter from B & W, as that was what many other photographers had recommended for doing daytime landscape long exposures.

I didn't have much opportunity to try it out until two weeks ago, when I went down to the Mahon pool near Maroubra beach to get some photos for an assignment I was doing.

While the effect wasn't anywhere as nice as the photos that inspired me, I was kinda happy that they were sort of in the right direction.

Well, there's much more practicing to be done, and maybe one day, I'll be able to get some really, really good shots too!
