Here are my entries for this week's Steemitphotochallenge. Unfortunately, Canon cameras are known for high noise levels when exposing for extended periods of time, but with the splendid noise reduction tools of Lightroom, you can really minimalize that effect.

Entry #1: Fireworks in B&W

Camera: Canon 600D
Lens: 55mm, EF-S 18-55, Canon
Aperture: f/5.6
Exposure: 6s
ISO: 400

This was shot on New Year's Eve. I had to exclude myself a bit from the party because I really wanted to capture an explosion with the right framing. It took me many tries but I think that the framing of this fireworks came out really nicely.

Entry #2: Glacier water, Switzerland

Camera: Canon 600D
Lens: Canon EF50mm f/1.4 USM
Aperture: f/2.0
Exposure: 30s
ISO: 100

For this picture I went out at night. I always thought that the moonlight gives a really nice feeling to a picture, so I wanted to try it out for myself. This is a small river that comes from the Morteratsch Glacier in Switzerland... It was freezing cold!

Entry #3: Stilts

Camera: Canon 600D
Lens: Canon EF50mm f/1.4 USM
Aperture: f/8.0
Exposure: 30s
ISO: 100

For this one I used a variable ND Filter. It made the water really nice and soft, but unfortunately there were many ND artefacts in the picture. Still I really like the feelings that come with it. Next time I'll just use a normal ND filter.
