Share some long exposures!

Our weekly photographic workshop can struggle to find subjects over the winter months. Fortunately long exposures offer a wide range of subjects that can inspire a good number of sessions. Here are some of those I shot using my Pentaxes over the years:

Evening sky stitch by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr

Jubilee fireworks by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr

Break by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr

Wire spinning at dusk by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr

2nd curtain pool by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr

This last one had second curtain flash thrown in to give an alternative to straight long exposures

Super images! Especially like the shots with movement.

Aurora Borealis in Algonquin Park Ontario Canada a few hours North of Toronto.
K-3 Mark III and DA* 16-50 PLM.

Lovely shot! I've never seen the aurora, although I live in a semi rural location light pollution, is likely to completely mask it on the rare occasions that it's supposedly visible this far south.

Sorry the removed weren't Pentax shots!
These from work are from my k5ii

Ok, here´s one with K-1 and 28-105:

( @ 28 mm, f/9, ISO 100, 3s, ND400 if I remember correctly..)

Pentax K-1 / Irix 15/2.4 / GND8 / In-camera stacked 20 shots

Pentax K-1 / Irix 15/2.4 / In-camera stacked 15 shots / ND8

Pentax K-1 / Irix 15/2.4 / ND 1000

Pentax K-1 / Irix 15/2.4 / In-camera stacked 20 shots

Pentax K-1 Mark II / Irix 15/2.4 / In-camera stacked 15 shots

And, of course, a darker background is needed for the forum or for viewing photos...

Some wonderful shots there sergedpr. Really impressive colours post work to match the scenery. Great work.

Is 4 hours long enough to qualify for long exposure?

M81/M82

These two galaxies are gravitationally bound and the gravitational interactions have warped both galaxies. They are 12 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Great Bear.

M82 is the longer irregular looking galaxy and the spiral is known as M81.
