Artistic

The photos here will hopefully represent something artistic. I have always wondered how to take photos of waterfalls and rivers and turn moving water into artistic, wispy, soft cotton streaks.

​

I just recently tried long exposure shots using my kit lens and a prime lens. What I did was predetermine a point of focus, then set the shutter speed for a few seconds, while making sure that the camera does not move. 

​

This particular way of taking photos proved to be very difficult and very tricky for me. It was a test of patience, as taking these photos with no additional equipment required waiting for the right time when it comes to natural lighting.  

​

For my first long exposure shots, I went to Dupinga River in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija, which is about 1 hour away from my parents' home.
 

After numerous attempts, I like to believe I have captured some notable photos. Here are a few from my modest haul.
