    You go to all that trouble with positioning filters, using the tripod and
    then set a 6s exposure without using a cable release…

    Sure this is the Canon 40D with Canon 17-40mm lens, a 580 EXII flash,
    pocket wizards, a Gitzo 1325 tripod and KIrk BH3 ballhead.

    Where can I get a Cokin filter? Everywhere I look it seems as if they don’t
    have it. -.-‘

    very nice tips . I will try next time with my tokina 12-24 with lee filter
    and with a remote flash sb600 . Thank you, Sometimes do you use 2 filters ?
    like one on the foreground and an other one for the background ?

    @ThdeGreatestOne cokin isnt the best, get the hitech filters with the cokin
    P holder. Needs 85 hitechs.

    i would actually take 3 bracketed shots of this and compose a lovely
    detailed HDR image, but that’s just me.

    Thank you! Could you please list what equipment you’re using here including
    the tripod make and model. Thanks again!

    Thanks for posting. You can also do all this after. No need for filter if
    you know how 😉

    I bet if you go back to that site after a light rain you will get a much
    better shot. Also, you might want to use a diffuser as the flash seems a
    little too strong and too unnatural. In this case, rather than use the
    flash, you might consider a double exposure, cause your flash isn’t going
    to do much for the rocks in the distance.

    Note: for those that wanna do the job without the Density filters, there is
    a method called Manual Blending.Check it out!

    Thanks for posting. Enjoyed watching. Maybe give us a with and without
    comparison at the end next time? Always good to see the benefits of using
    such a filter. But I learnt something here so much appreciated 🙂

    Very true, sometimes I get caught up in the moment chasing the light and
    don’t connect the release, or opt for the 2 second timer in a pinch.
    Something I need to be more consistent with, thanks.

    Thanks, it’s a terrific spot and one I’ve visited in a variety of seasons.
    Thanks for the suggestions.
