For this challenge, i'd like to show different ways of capturing long exposures.
Entry #1
A powerful storm that i catched with long exposure. I that way, many lightnings illuminates the clouds, rain and city with purple colours. It has been taken from my balcony. We can see the Neuchatel lake and the city of Yverdon (Switzerland).

Entry #2
Sharpness of Rocks versus smoothness of Water. That's something i really love about long exposures. Everything that is unpermanent disappears or transform into something blurry and smooth.

Entry #3
That I called the Sumi-e kind of way. The Japaneses created this art. The white and the shades of grey are very important for them. It's part of their culture. Also minimalistic and pure but sharp. A bit like tofu ;)
It way a misty(c) day. Cannot see the moment when the sky appears and the water finishes. Love that.

Bonus entry
We tried yesterday to create something with lights and water. It's in Lausanne (Ouchy) next to the lake. Normally i would use Photoshop to merge 2 pictures : a rapid shot to fix the model and a long esposure for the water. But! In this
challenge I couldn't do that. So it was really difficult to catch a non moving model... She tried hard i can assure you. Maybe we shouldn't have had that big beer before XD !

You can find the 3 first pictures on my stansmithphotography page on Facebook and in Flickr (Mind Frame).
Feel free to ask for anything or suggest! Totally open and not narrow minded.
