Adventures with tim

Tim Seibert (of Flatirons ProMedia) and I started at 5:30am and drove to Greenbelt Mesa.  Once we arrived, we hiked for about a mile. I was taking a long exposure of the cars moving and then Tim showed me how to use foreground. He suggested that I use a tree as foreground and use the Flatirons as background.

After the sunrise, we went to Eldorado Canyon State Park. There were multiple waterfalls there. I had recently acquired a ten-stop filter. I took this picture. 

Not only is my picture over exposed and out of focus but there were strange pink marks. This happens when light enters the view finder during a long exposure. With a long exposure and ND-filter, this light is coming in through the lens and more light is coming in through the viewfinder. You can fix by using MUP mode on your camera. Normally, light is entering the lens faster than it is entering the viewfinder.
