Long Exposure, Black Glass
Mar 3, 2012 00:53:42 #
I have not the expsure in minutes yet. I am waiting to get one more piece of equipment for that. However, my plan would be to use small apeture, a CPL filter, and stack ND filters then put my VND on and turn it to max or 8 stops and use manual focus.

I just did what you are trying to do a couple weeks ago.
I used a vivitar NDX filter (variable ND) it will go as dark as you like, but DO not try to use a cpl with it.
The NDX is basically 2cpl's mounted together with a graduated scale. I found mine for less than $30.00 and have had great sucess with it.

Just curious, are these 2 different shots, or is the first one cropped?

Of course it does.
The problem is, even at minimum aperture and a low iso with the ND filters, the "proper exposure" is only about three seconds. Any longer and it will be overexposed.
Bruce- let us know when you've solved this and post a photo.
A friend who managed a camera store has a lot of stories to tell. This one reminded me of the customer who wanted to buy some more f-stops for his camera.
