Long Exposure Photography Improved my Seascapes

Long Exposure Photography is a great way to get your seascape and seaside photographs to stand out. I produced a video a few years ago about Bulb Mode Photography. Recently I was looking through my old videos and realised that long exposure could be a good way of improving my results in my ongoing pursuit of improved summer photography. My home city is Plymouth in the UK and often shooting places you are familiar with can get a bit boring and drain the creativity right out of you. With a few Neutral Density Filters and a time I headed off to the seafront to photograph the Iconic natural harbour of Plymouth Sound seafront.

Enjoyed the video Brian, the long exposure proved to be very interesting and gave you some excellent captures. Keep up the good work.

Well I do hope you are all enjoying this video. A few years ago I visited another part of the coast for a bit of bulb mode photography. Pop back and watch this next the link is at the end of the video

You have the eye balls of a God! You see all! Still seriously, nice work. Question Brian, I don't see a camera list in the description, what are you using for your b camera? I didn't see that you loaded your tripod with ballast, did you? I hang my pack from the stem on its integrated hook, and keep the stem stepped down, not up; helps a lot but doesn't do anything for the sail effect on the body mass above the ball.

[@BrianNorthmorePhotography]

So you are right. Unless you need to keep the centre column down. But the photograph comes first. So if you need to extend it you shot completely? I generally don’t use ballast unless it’s very windy. And then I would use my camera bag. But there is a risk that it moves in the wind causes some additional movement.
My video camera is a Sony ZV1.

Thx Brian. I just cinch my pack to the hook so it loads on the ground and the wind can't move it...still air layer- and it's heavy. Also, have a manfrotto 190 with a head like the one you used in this video, so many connection points. I changed it out for a single big ball with a slot to go vertical, it doesn't wobble as much in the wind. @@BrianNorthmorePhotography
