Correct mate, I remember it being 13 stops, lost my polarizing filter just before I took the shot, was never able to find it, so sad another expensive filter at the gone again.

Was surprised the water was so low at this location.

The image is made from two exposures

Lens Nikon 14-24mm

24mm

ISO 100

f/11

Exposure 1

I used a 3 stop Lee graduated filter to bring down the highlights from the sun hitting the trees.

I added a 10 stop ND filter to get the long exposure to smooth out the water.

Would of added a polarizing filter but unfortunately I lost it in the water and was unable to find it.

Exposure 2

Due to the very long exposure for the water the waterfall did not look correct, so i took another expose of 6 seconds just for the water.

Post processing

I imported both exposures into Photoshop and aligned the layers.

The first exposure I edited in camera raw, adjusting the white balance to bring out the color of the water.

I used nik software pro contrast.

Duplicated the 2nd exposure and added the Ordon effect to that layer for the trees.

the

used the 1st exposure as a base layer and masked in the trees and the waterfall.

Fantastic in which sense?

The amount of psychedelic drugs to let me see a pier like this would be immense...

Actually shooting at that location was a real challenge, half way through the exposure some Chinese tourists arrived and would not wait for the extra 90 seconds for me to finish the exposure.

See the original below!

Fortunately I was able to save the image with Photoshop.

Anyway thats the kinda thing you have to prepare for when shooting at these kinda locations, lol

[shaggy1969]

Wow,what a salvage job!!!

Maybe you can use this as an example of what photoshop is good for in your new topic?
