Long-Exposure Shots

[SLVSRFR]

Is there any technique that you guys use for long exposure photos?

I was experimenting (first time) with some this morning and was curious how others accomplish it.

I just waited for dark and set 6 second shutter time. I think ND filters would be the key to getting great shots earlier.

I was super impressed with how steay it was in these windy conditions. Super grainy though but overally I can't wait to shoot more.

To take long exposure photos you will always need filters if doing it on average/strong daylight. If you take photos at dawn, sunset, sunrise with low light, then you should get good long exposures. In the morning as you did with that photo you should have used a filter IMHO.

That was with a filter. It was just a cloudy day.

Well, may be with a couple more secs. It's not that easy because the Mavic image sensor, it's not that good, I think. I'm used to take photos with long exposures with my Canon DSLR's but they have big sensors, so there's a huge gap between them.
