Howard 5252 posted about an Arca plate from Breakthrough Photography. If you go to their website you will find they offer a 53 pg. book on Long Exposure. Looks pretty good and it is free.
“The unliberated photographers
awareness is constricted by expectations
about how things ought to look.”

What does a successful long exposure image look like? It’s exposure time is generally between 30 seconds to 5 minutes, it’s critically sharp, has naturally saturated
color, exhibits zero shadow noise and the subject or environment is dramatically exaggerated by the fourth dimension - time.
I wrote this reference guide to show you step-by-step how to get these results.
The goal of this guide is to provide you with a practical and immediately executable approach. I’ve kept rambling and entertainment to a minimum here.
I’ve made all the mistakes and then some when it comes to long exposure photography. Unlike other areas of photography, long exposure calls for more attention
to detail, a somewhat specialized equipment kit and a different approach to previsualization and composition.
We’re going to go over that, too
Thanks for sharing the hyperlink.

To see countless illustrations of the sad situation to which Mr Gross refers, just take a random tour of the UHH Gallery and Critique sections.

Likewise.
Among thousands of UHH members /readers, surely theres almost a dozen that will understand Mr Gross's idea. (OTOH the unliberated will view it as a technical treatise.)

That is why I included that quote -- I too see it, and unfortunately am guilty of it myself at times. It is easy to fall into doing the easy thing rather than really work a photo or situation to it's best advantage. I have always liked the quote: "The enemy of great is good".

Or sometimes, just "good enough". You nailed it!

tried that yesterday, just spins and spins, same story today. But thanks for the try, there must be a lot to consider from the tech point of view. I typically just shoot and compare/puzzle and try again. that's half the fun of it.
