My haunted garden

Spent half an hour experimenting with that filter again… It might be getting a little old now, me acting as ghost in the garden, but for the time being I can’t do much more. At least I chose a different spot. This corner is actually my favourite; it’s a shame I don’t spend more time outside…

All three pics are 30 seconds exposures; the first one I took with the ND400 and polarizing filter stacked on top of each other, and it turned out very dark; almost black actually. I was surprised that it was easy to rectify in post-processing without losing quality. (The reddish hue is me, wandering around before sitting down!)

Contemplation

Contemplation

That first half of my experiment made me realise just how enormous a difference to exposure times shade makes in comparison to bright sunlight, so I removed the CPL. Oh well… this might sound geeky to most of you, but I hope you’ll like my favourite garden corner even if you’re not a photo buff!

I really feel goofy taking pictures of myself...
