Vancouver Waterfront Reflections (long exposures)

(I've also posted this set FujiXspot--I guess there's some overlap between all of Amin's communities, and some people who are only on one site--apologies if you've seen it already!)

Hi folks,

Had some fun enjoying some mist and fog by the waterfront last night. Tried a couple different PP styles, some are close to SOOC, others are hopefully not overcooked. The X-E1 is nice for slower paced photography. Shot with a combination of 35mm 1.4 and SuperTakumar 85mm 1.8. Stopped down I can't tell any difference IQ wise.

C&C always welcome. Hopefully this isn't too repetitive. :)

Thanks guys, glad you liked them.

nice photos. what was the exposure and was it 15 seconds ?

Exposures were slightly different depending on the weather conditions but iirc, all ISO 200, f7.1-8, exposure times ranged from 8s-30s (with 3 stop nd filter).
 
So the ND filter was just used to stretch out the exposure to the longest time you could get away with at that ISO / f stop? Like, to better blur the water motion, etc?

Yep, I thought I might as well give it a try since I had the filter in my bag already. I didn't swap it around too much on the 2 lenses I brought as I found it a bit fiddly to be juggling the camera stuff and the umbrella as I shot under a light drizzle. I also have a 10 stop ND filter that I have been meaning to try out..next time maybe. :)

And as a correction to my earlier post, the exposure times were generally a bit shorter than I thought they were. The first shot was 1/125 handheld, the others ranged from 3-15 seconds in general. 30 seconds for the last shot..was it worth the extra wait? lol
