So this was my first attempt at capturing Maroon Bells and my first time seeing them... truly a marvel but realized i had something wrong just not sure where i went wrong... Aside from time of year of course..
Equipment: Sigma 17-50 2.8 OS
Canon 60D and
Generic "Cokin" like ND filters stacked 3 to make a 6 stop set... although now i want to buy just a screw on 7 or 10 stop brand name...
So here is my problem.. i wanted to make the water still but think I either left my shutter open too long or im not sure:
ISO 100
17mm
10 sec exspore
F 14
I had another shot where the water had a nice reflection and I wish I could take the reflection from that shot and put it in the first one but I shouldn't have to and should be able to get it right in camera first.
So im not sure where i went wrong to where i could have obtained somewhat glass like water and still maintained a reflection... or is it one or the other? I have seen shots where it looked like an ND wasnt used and perhaps the water was just still that day...
