Haha much appreciated bro! I don't know. There seems to be always something that's holding me back from posting on dA nowadays. Last time I wanted to submit a shot the entire site went down for like an entire day...bitches!

This is a very common scene around these parts - I love these old buildings, and with that amazing sky you've captured, you can almost see the time passing!

some more open shutter madness!
..just out of curiosity, how do you calculate your times for these le's?..i mean, does your camera figure the time or do you have to figure it out

These are all shot in bulb mode and I use the stop watch on my phone. At first I had to shoot a lot of setup shots to get the exposure right but now I have gotten pretty good at being able to judge my light quality. This is a double stacked setup. ND400 with an ND8 on top of it. I THINK this was like a minute and a half exposure at F22. So I just use my stop watch on the phone so I can be pretty exact. I have gotten to where I know where I want my meter to be for the exposure I want to. That can make it easy.

the reason i asked, i just got my 9 stop filter and needed a way to figure my times..i found an article by marc adamus that said, just to double your exp for each stop..ei:if your meter reads the scene(w/out filter) at 1/8 of a second, to add nine stops would be as follows: 1/8>1/4, 1/4>1/2, 1/2>1 sec, 1>2 sec, 2>4 sec, 4>8 sec, 8>15 sec, 15>30 sec and 30 sec>1 min for the 9th stop..from what little i've played with it so far, all of my test shots have been spot on w/the exp...just thought i'd share, and hope you find it useful

Thanks Doug! I know there are so many factors into getting good exposure using these dark filters. How much shadow and sunlight is in a shot can be hell to figure out.
