its been a long time since i posted something on clubsnap.

just came back from perth just a few days back and i really like the new merlion !! here's a shot i took with my 2800Z.

Pardon me, but the merlion's "bottom" looks a tad overexposed....

Maybe you should have a faster shutter speed perhaps?

spumpkin > nice water flow there..
just to ask, did you use a ND filter or something?
I thought such water effects can be produced only with a ND filter?

nope not true, all u really need is a steady tripod, small aperture setting and long exposure time for night-time shots.... anything above 1 second will give that smooth frothy effect. ND filters are more for daylight scenes when even the smallest aperture is still too fast.

Can a polzrizer be used for a ND

yes and no, depending on the situation... bear in mind that a polariser does more than just filter light (unlike ND which is built specifically to block off some light and nothing else). a polariser also deals with refracted light and colour saturation...

e.g. if you are taking a long exposure shot of a waterfall surrounded by green foliage, then a polariser is good cos it saturates the green of the foliage. but if you don't want the saturation effect, then a ND is more useful.

hope that helps...
