Not for everyone I know and thats OK. For me though, it is the obligatory, under the pier, 10-stop filter, B&W image . I'm learning this part of the craft and it is not as easy at it would seem. I am making some progress though! An 8-minute exposure - the wind was so strong I had to hold on to the film's Quickload sleeve for the whole time to avoid major vibrations....

Beautiful shot, but 8 minutes seems a bit long. Did you have noise issues because of the length of the exposure? very nice ethereal effect, though.
Thanks Frank! There are no noise issues with film .
A good example of how someone with a good photographic eye can make a stunning image out of a seemingly ho-hum subject. I bet most (myself included) would have walked right by this potential scene. Of course, it would be hard to visualize an 8 minute exposure of anything, beforehand, but you get my point. And I am sure the degree of difficulty on this was quite high as well. An excellent capture, it sure works for me!
wow, very surreal. 10 Stop ND...I need to get one of those, I could not get anywhere near that long of an exposure with my 6 stop, now I know what I need.
