Arcelor-Mittal (Dofasco) at Sundown
« on: July 03, 2014, 05:27:16 pm »

I attempted to capture some of the movement in the plumes in the first image.









Thank you for looking.

Interesting effect on the first - looks to be a double exposure or camera movement on just the steam (which is impossible, of course). The steam, however, looks more like the result of an explosion. Have you tried a really long exposure? A little later in the evening with an exposure of many seconds to even minutes?

I agree with Lux's comment. The first photo, where you tried to capture some movement in the steam, I think you have used a double exposure? Which is really only giving the effect of it being blurry, looks like camera shake, and doesn't really convey 'movement'. Not sure it works sorry.
Try a longer exposure, many ways you could achieve this
 - Stop down the lens using a smaller aperture and a longer shutter speed
 - Drop your ISO to give you a longer shutter speed
 - Use an ND filter or Polarizer to let in less light and give you a longer shutter speed
 - Shoot a bit later when there is less light, but then you'll miss out on the colors.
 - All of the above. ;-)
