Title: B&W Long Exposure Experiments
Post by: Roman Racela on September 27, 2013, 03:55:15 am: Had some fast moving clouds and streams during a trip to Utah and Arizona so I did some long exposure experimentations and converted them to B&W.

Here are a few that I like from that weekend trip. I think they turned out okay.

Post by: Roman Racela on September 27, 2013, 12:36:39 pm: Thank you, stamper. I've been a fan of B&W more than color photos and I've been thinking of framing several B&W prints. I do have 4 frames that can fit 12x18 prints, but I haven't decided which ones to do yet. Here's one that I really like and will be printing.
