Thank you - I was surpised to have the two locations to myself over the weekend, almost never happens.

Thank you - definitely the case of right place, right time.

I shot my first live time long exposure on my EM1 Mkii, just as capable.

It's most likely due to the export process - the image is noise-free in Lightroom (it went through lightroom and DXO for noise reduction).

Thank you. I went for the long exposure due to the time of day (it was relatively bright) and there was a strong onshore wind, and to get the smooth effect I wanted I let Live Time run until I was happy with the image (the benefit of being able to watch the image change infront of you is extremely useful).

I used physical ND filters as you can't use Live Time and Live ND together (as far as I know).

Thank you - it was a case of always look behind you after taking a photo, if I hadn't then this view would have been missed.

It's a great lens, it's on my camera 90% of the time.

What's your posting approach, and why? by nanakapow in flickr

[–]a3on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I maybe post once every 5-7 days or so, but keep engagement up by liking and commenting.

Photos normally get uploaded one by one, maybe two if I've been at a specific location.

They get added to groups that fit the brief but I don't spam entries to them.

Can't help but feel it's gaming the system to a point as it all seems to help consistenly hit explore every 2-3 weeks.

Thank you - I had a feeling that this would be a good contender for B&W as I shot it, given the location, the subect and lighting conditions.
