These are not "technically" good pics, but I just like them. Hell I took them with a 1.3mp

This one
And this one <- not mine, a stray I think
Both from the same place, my holiday last October.
Taken with a crappy 1.3MPixel Fujifilm A101 bought maybe 3 years ago (hence the quality).

this is one of my favs. took it at niagara falls. used a neutral density filter to get flowing water


this is also a great one i took in Massachusetts this summer. I blew this one up to 18x24 and it's on my wall.

Couldnt you have just used a slower shutter speed for the same effect ?

with a slow shutter speed and high aperture, even during the day, the picture was blown out with anymore than 1/4 second or so even at iso 100. neutral density gives me 3 extra stops to work with, so i was able to get 1/2 second exposure, which made the water look much cooler without destroying the exposure

edit: so yes, i *did* use a slow shutter speed :p

That's the nice thing about mechanical film cameras. You can hold the shutter open as long as you like. Most electronic cameras and particularly digicams only allow 30 second shutters max. :(

i can keep my digital SLR shutter open as long as i want if i use the camera's BULB setting. i often do this with an external mechanical release to capture lighting
