I was about 5 minutes late on the beautiful sunset color we had the other night, so I decided to try a B&W long exposure instead. At 8 minutes, this was the longest exposure I’ve tried so far, and it really had a nice effect on the clouds. I had to mask out a few random headlights/tail lights from passing cars, and then converted it to black and white by just using Lightroom’s controls. Every so often, I find it therapeutic to use the more simple controls in LR as opposed to PS, Topaz, etc.


I love everything about this photo – the B&W, the long exposure, and the perspective of looking through the gate. Great job!!
Thanks so much!
Perfectly fraomed with a great leading line to the house Steven. The long exposure’s effect on the clouds are perfect
Great lines, Steven. And nice long exposure effect in the sky. Beautiful image.
