Long Exposures (C&C Welcome)

I like the first one, nice that the one section caught the reflection of a red colored light. I disagree about needing to level the picture, it'd ruin the perspective...IMO.

Keep throwing, great aim.

All three were taken with a tripod.
The first was a ten second exposure @f/9, ISO 250
The second was a 1/4 second exposure @f/7.1, ISO 2500
The last was a 4 second exposure @f/5.6, ISO 800
Some people take great pictures because of talent; some of us, like me, just throw enough mud on the wall that some of it sticks. :-)

Hoo-Ray for all us mud slingers! I'm trying to learn more of the technical part of photography, but sometimes those random shots just come out better.

I thought about that also. If straightening makes it lose its' perspective, then pitch it.I like the first one, nice that the one section caught the reflection of a red colored light. I disagree about needing to level the picture, it'd ruin the perspective...IMO.

I like the first two a whole bunch. What if you straightened out the first one though? It may turn out even better yet.
I would disagree. The image is straight if one looks at the lights above the dam. The diagonal helpts to make this shot. If one were hypercritical, they might suggest a little more foreground so that the image is not running across the mid-third of the image.

I like your last statement. I have a friend who at one time was a newspaper photographer. His comment was that if they got one publishable image out of 100 shots they were happy. Once I understood that principle, I was able to discard the poor quality images with no remorse. It looks like you take the same track.

First time I was assigned to cover a major college football game I started out the door with about 3 rolls of 36 exp. Tri-X. The head photographer laughed and asked if that's all I had. I think I might have had another in my bag. He reaches over and hands me a "tin" that our bulk film came in with about another tens rolls. He said to shoot ever roll before I left the game. I had a 90 mile drive and had to develop and print to meet the deadline for the Sunday paper. Left just as the first quater started and shot over 400 exposures. we ran about 6 in the sports section and one on the front page. My poor Nikon FE with MD-11 drive was begging for some rest.
:D

Oops! Should have read as "the 4th quater started" Of course at my age then and the cheerleaders working out I probably could have burned that much before the game started. :thumbup:

Great shots. Really like the first and last. The more you shoot the better you get. Keep on shooting.

I agree but even as it is I really like number one.

I have to admit, I didn't really think the first one needed straightened. It was shot from an angle to the side, which is going to cause some natural slant up. Like rdbroman said, the lights on top of the dam were pretty straight. Then I noticed the ground in front of the water at the bottom, which told a little different story. It has been straightened now. I will re-shoot this sometime and try to compose the shot a little better, but I can't take much off the top without cutting more of the dam out or changing the overall ratio of the photo a lot.
I also cut the exposure a little and sharpened it some. I don't think it looked bad in the first shot, but it does look different.
I appreciate all the feedback.
