I needed to shoot at f/16 because when the lens is this close to the subject there is much less depth of field. Anyway, f/16 is like a pin hole iris that allows very little light in at a time and thus requires more time to properly expose.Jim Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02060459707120991313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002888911423989980.post-64006040357065170942009-09-05T08:27:35.782-05:002009-09-05T08:27:35.782-05:00Is it a shell?

I'm curious about the 25 second exposure, though. I thought long exposures like that were used for things like catching lightning, fireworks, streaks of traffic .... this subject appears still, so I'm just curious?Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325715096763265816noreply@blogger.com
