I get the effect when photographing flying insects, I think it helps give the impression of the wings beating.
Long exposure on water can produce interesting effects also. Here it gave a milky waterfall and a glassy surface to the pool using a 13 sec exposure. A car went past on the bridge behind the brick building and you can just make out a ghostly trail on the bridge.

There is a reasonable coastal pathway to it but I don't believe you can get a car close by as the adjacent houses and road are all on gated private property.
I parked close to the Portishead Sailing club and the walk was less than 1/2 a mile. There is quite a steep hill as you move inland which I would expect would make any radio work very directional towards the north and west. |

Awesome photographs!
I love the traffic and the water shots. I have just tried another with my watch...

I have a question, when shooting with long exposure, with the light meter perfectly centralised and using a tripod,with an exposure longer than about 4-5 seconds I get a lot of distortion. What could be causing that?
I'm using the shutter mode on a timer so I am not actually touching the camera when it takes the picture, so I know the camera is not moving... Any ideas?

Hi,
The image becomes blurred, so like camera shake. There is a hook under the tripod so I will hang a weight from it and see if it improves the situation. I have tried both with and without the head extended. If it is the mirror causing it, what can I do?
