"The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross, and which to burn"--D. Russel
Manyeonsa, Hwasun-eup
Despite the endless rains, i decided to go to a nearby mountain approximately 2-3 kilometers from where i live. I was supposed to climb Mt. Mudeung, but then i decided to go to a mountain in Hwasun since ive been to Mudeung san for more than 6x already. Nothing new to see i guess.
So equipped with 1 backpack, 2 cameras (1 SLR+ 1 point and shoot), an external flash, a tripod, 3 lenses, 4 filters plus a kimbap (rice roll) and 1 bottle of energy drink, and my passion for adventure...i started the journey
Originally, my plan was to shoot infrared photographs. But infrared photography requires lots of light. So because of the bad weather, i decided to take advantage of the flowing streams of waters instead and do long exposure shots.
In photography, exposure is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph.
In photographic jargon, an exposure generally refers to a single shutter cycle. For example: a long exposure refers to a single, protracted shutter cycle to capture enough low-intensity light, whereas a multiple exposure involves a series of relatively brief shutter cycles; effectively layering a series of photographs in one image.
In long exposure photography, usually flowing water has a similar effect as fog, and it's much easier to find, therefore a good subject. Whether a river, or crashing waves, any type of liquid movement is a good candidate for longer exposures.(Like the images above)Image was converted to BW using CS4.
