Ah, I see there's a bit of a misunderstanding.
With the street crossing picture I was actually aiming to get a motion blur effect. I wanted to keep the persons visible, just smeared out - hence the burst shot.
Got a tip for us?

Handheld, made possible by IBIS. 1/6s, with a filter.

Your waterfall has a" little more" movement than mine LOL
Trying for a landscape "Molly-style."
While 1/80s isn't exactly dragging the shutter, I'm zoomed out at 200mm and the driver was bookin'.
Somewhere on the south coast of Iceland.
you never know what you are going to get with this. completely experimental!
i would have guessed ireland, not iceland!
a more conventional drag your shutter: 1/6s at Gullfoss / Golden Falls, Iceland
(ND filter wasn't in the bag, oh well)
From a different angle looks better : same water but more mosquitoes 🙃
Went for a very traditional approach that week, but I’d also like to try the image stacking method.
PS: I haven’t posted in a while. Although, I did shoot something for each week, I just didn’t have to time for editing and posting. I’m catching up on the last weeks soon.

Long exposure experiment:
Using an ND1000 filter at midday slowed down the shutter speed to 6".
Alas, with f16 diffraction was not my friend. The usually tack sharp Vivitar 28mm 2.8 showed its limits.
Still, I quite enjoy the texture of the stone vs the soft water.

Finally got around to doing this one. My little Oly has a minimum aperture of ƒ-11 and its slowest ISO is 100. It does have aperture priority but no direct way to control shutter speed. To date I have not bought the bayonet 44mm filter adapter, though that is on the list. IOW long exposures with this camera can be very challenging especially during daylight hours.
Anyways photo on the left used ƒ-5, ISO 100, SS=1/800 sec. To get the photo on the right I returned a day or 2 later, at a time when the area was mostly in the shade. I set the ISO to 100 and the aperture to its minimum of ƒ-11. Held a polarizing filter in front of the lens, hand holding camera and filter for a 1/15th sec exposure. EBV on both images was -0.7 of an ƒ-stop to prevent washing out the highlights.
