Long exposured Vologda

I haven't shot at extra-long exposures in the daytime for probably six or even seven years. I decided to remember how it's done. Besides, I've never photographed Vologda like this before.

For long exposures of more than one minute in daylight, a darkening filter is needed.

I took a regular UV filter and glued a car tinting film on both sides.

I don't know what the density is, but shutter speeds per minute and a half in daylight are usually achieved at ND1000 and denser.

Surprisingly, the film practically did not distort the colors.

Even the original filters suffer from the introduction of a parasitic shade into the picture.

It turns out that I can recommend the workshop at Mozhaisky 55, where I was kindly given some pretty high-quality film cuts!

I once had a set of neutral density filters, but I sold it as unnecessary. And for one-time experiments, a homemade one is also suitable.

It turned out to be worthy of attention – the main thing is to have a textured sky.

And to show the maximum movement of everything around, in addition to the sky, you can take water, trees and any other moving objects.

But do not forget about static objects, otherwise the whole frame will be like one continuous wiggle.
