^ Nice pic, Gen.

I can already sense that at a long exposure with black glass on this location would look surreal... especially on a rainy/foggy evening.

Anybody here uses/has experience with ND filters by any chance?

I too dont have much knowledge about ND filters ...just know that its used to reduce the shutterspeed in broad daylight ;)

@Gen : Very nice shot. I feel this location with a late dusk scene( Sky all red) and HDR( to capture full range) would be great. Especially if you can get someone to sit on the rocks ( The human element adds a lot to an otherwise bland landscape shot).

Rhitwick, Choice of WB is not good, in my view. Try make better photographs. I see some are little soft... If you were shooting handheld at that low shutter speed, use tripod or something when using long shutter speed.

Gen, That would be better if there was little more space over the building. And FYI, your camera do have built in ND filter and since you are trying for smooth look, use smallest aperture possible. Don't mind about diffraction here, it would ruin the image (in this case) along with the ND filter. But don't expect longer shutter speed when you're pointing at sun ;)

Sujoy, The last one is very good :doublethumb: One of your best, IMO (it looks slightly tilted, I think. May be coz of wide angle). Again, I kinda feel the first four images are underexposed.

@nac ...thanks ...I donno how everytime the pics seems underexposed ....yaah maybe bird in flight is underexposed but I dont find others even a bit underexposed ...keeping the fur details is needed even if I have to sacrifice a bit of light

ooh and last two are shot with mobile ;)

May be you need add some punch. ;) When you are shooting next time, try few shots little over exposed. Just to share them with me ;)

Impressive IQ for a mobile camera. :)

@Rhitwick The 2nd one is totally super.
@sujoyp - Last cat is great. Bird flying is nice too, but why the lack of colours in the there.
@srkmish, @CyberKID - Thanks, glad you liked it.

Thanks for the comment, I agree about the space over the building.
I've used the built in ND filter but its not good enough for day time long exposure shots over 2-4 seconds (cloudy / no sun) & useless for sunsets over the sea. (even at smallest aperture there's too much light for long exposure)

Come on, you were shooting when the sun was up.
or did you see any long exposure shot when the sun was up in the sky :|
Did you try before sunrise or little after sunset, if you have then you are right. You need filter. If not, try and let us know.

@nac ...next time I am getting overexposed shots for you :D actually these are shot in RAW..let me send you the RAW file to you, then you decide ;)

Yeah, have tried when the sun is on the horizon at sunset but even then its too much light at lowest aperture for a smooth water effect at the sea. It'd need atleast 12-15 seconds I guess (not sure).

I've posted a 2 sec daytime shot before a few pages back (#8478), but the light was low that time & the water there was quite calm too.

^ Okie...

I remember there was a member on the other forum. He did few long exposure photographs little after sunset (the topic was something like spring/winter/summer evening in bangalore. I don't remember exactly and it was roughly two years ago. So the thread would have likely been removed already. We can't find it even if we want to). If I remember correct, there was no mentioning of any filters and the exposure was between 2-4 minutes. He could barely see things in front of him and there was no sun at all just those orange colours (after glow). Those images were stunning. So the reason for me assuming that you could do the same with your S110.

@nac ...next time I am getting overexposed shots for you :D actually these are shot in RAW..let me send you the RAW file to you, then you decide ;)

:D 2/3rd would be fine I think. Just good enough to keep the subject's highlight intact.
