When we do long exposure photography, we have to consider many facts at the same time, the light direction, the wind speed, metering light, exposure time, correct aperture, composition & rules.
The challenge here is to pre-visual the story, move away from reality & to transform the ordinary/reality into a surreal dream. you have only one chance to get the shot.
I do it the hard way, instead of bracketing & doing multi exposure or even spending hours on post production & digital blending (cause i’m bad in that) Its only one single exposure 220 seconds exposure time at f11 by adding Formatt Hitech Filters Filters ND 13 stop & GND hard edge
