Long exposure photography. It is something I’m playing with for a long time. First infrared, then with portraits and then nature and objects. Infrared was on film, lost case. Portraits are long, but not that long: several seconds.

Nature and objects need several minutes and the cameras I had were not fit for that: the sigma’s didn’t like my filters, and the x-pro did not lend itself for static work: it is simply not such a camera.

Then, some weeks ago, being along the seaside, I tried again. This time with the xh1: great for work from a tripod and filters nor long exposure are bothering the sensor. I took four exposures: one normal one and three long exposures, the last one being ‘ruined’ as a rather big boat left a rather big wave in my so calm sea.

The first long exposure image was the best in the end: meet the island of Cres, seen from Opatija.

Though the jpeg out of camera looked great, I decided to process the raw image due to colour shift due to the long exposure time.
