These range in exposure times from 2 seconds to 11 seconds. All are f8, ISO 200, set on bulb manually; on a tripod with shutter release.
Sincerely appreciate your sharing these settings. May I ask what mm lens was used?
These are great takes ! Ben

I'm new here, and haven't figured my way around the Hog's settings, etc.
I agree w you; "post" is amazing. I'm beginning my 2nd year of pscc, quite the learning curve, eh?
At this time my goal is to achieve what "I" saw.
I've been thru the over saturation and filters stage, and looking back, now think it horrible of what I produced. Thus, am backing down to a neutral or natural to my eye final take.
As you may know, Wildlife photography presents it's own limitations of lighting, and the animal dictates where the subject stands. Low lighting in the forest calls for higher shutter speed
( especially w the 500mm hand held), thus higher iso's. It's not only a challenge to get into position without being detected, but also pure luck if the animal presents itself for a clean shot through the trees.

My first post here Folks. Taken at last light deep in a canyon of the Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico.
500mm f4 iso 800 full frame. Ben
