This shot along the shore there at the park is looking northwesterly. The sun has set at this point, so I had taken the 6 stop filter off and replaced with the 4 stop, for a total of 13 Stops. This was getting me in the 300s range for exposure. I shot at f/5, and in the end could have been at f/8, as this was nearly overexposed. Part of practicing here and trying new things.
The sky colors and clouds were really changing and streaming here, and made for some nice effect on the sky and in the water where not frozen.
When I saw this photo after on the screen, I noticed that the ice in the lower part of the image was not in focus. At first I thought I had hit the focus ring as I was in manual focusing (needed with the ND filters on). But it was in the correct position for focus. Then I was thinking it was due to f/5. But looking at the beach, all there was in focus up close too.
It was then that I realized we had a very slow moving "Iceberg" moving along the shore. In the 5 minute exposure, the ice here was moving every so little bit. Something new to keep in mind when shooting LE's.
