RE: 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - North American Friday week #15 - the absolute winner takes 200 SBD!
So I decided to go more personal for this week's entry. This is from my hometown of Grafton, Wisconsin. This is the Milwaukee River right next to the Grafton Dam. I took this photo a few weeks ago when I went to visit my parents for the holidays. What you can't see from the photo is that it was 25 degrees with a wind chill (and very strong wind) making it feel like 15 degrees. It took a few times to make the long exposure work because the wind shook my phone a few times ruining the shot. But I got it!
I would have never guessed that this photo was taken with a phone! How do you take long exposures with your smartphone, is there an App for that that stacks multiple photos into a long exposure?
Crazy, right? I use the Slow Shutter app on my phone. I've had the app for at least two years but I've only recently really used it to its full potential. I set the exposure for about 10-15 seconds. The app works for motion blurs during the day and light trails at night. There's a reason this app is rated 5 stars in the app store!
I only got a new smartphone a few months ago and I am still amazed by how good the quality of smartphone cameras has become. I need to look if there is an app like that for Android, I have not found anything usable yet..
Thank you for your participation and submission. Due to a large amount of entries I will be picking other images to go further. Tomas
