Dead calm III


I didn't have a tripod when I took this picture so I just had to place my camera on a rock and hope for the best :o)

A rock is just a low-tech tripod anyway. :-)) Beautiful shot. I long for the day when I can spend some time on time lapses.

Great capture! Wonderful blue! So: It's ok to put the cam on a rock, maybe the rock is also more solid than a tribod ;-)

Thank you WDW. This was fine, a "rock-solid" tripod :o)

Takk B :o) Maður verður að reyna að bjarga sér, sá nú einhvern tíma ábendingu um litla baunapoka sem hægt er að hafa í vasanum og auðvelt er að henda á jörðina til að leggja vélarnar ofan á :o)

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Thank you Nada. I think it is necessary to have a tripod, at least for taking long exposure pictures :o)

AbsoluteShower says:
Yes, the EXIF shows 3-seconds. It's hard to hold your breath and keep still for that long! :D Actually, you did very well for 10:30pm, I'm surprised there's any light at all! I guess F11 makes those star-filter effects? I can see I will have to experiment... (If this rain will stop!!)
Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Yes, f11 makes the star effect (and higher f numbers too) I recently learned that it depends on the quality of the lens, how many "rays" you get from the light, the expensive lenses with many glasses make more rays so I guess mine isn't so special ;o)
And by now the days are getting pretty long and it was just getting dark around the time I took those pictures...

Thank you Judith. Often it is just enough to point and shoot but sometimes it is better to know how to change the settings :o)
