Blue Lagoon is a picturesque destination, known for its crystal-clear lake and the woods surrounding the place. The moment I arrived, I was awestruck by the sheer tranquillity of the place. It's like stepping into a different world, a world of serenity and untouched beauty. As I ventured deeper into the area, I knew I found the perfect canvas for my long-exposure photography adventure, my mission for the day.

Armed with my old trusty Mamiya RB67 medium format camera and a K&F ND filter - 10 stops, I set out to capture the ethereal beauty of this hidden gem.

Long-exposure photography demands precision and patience. Careful composition and manual settings, combined with the right balance between exposure time, aperture, and focus, are essential.

As the sunlight danced across the water's surface, I made minute adjustments to my settings, ensuring that I achieved the perfect balance between exposure time, aperture, and focus.

While the process of capturing long-exposure images is meticulous, it also brings an element of unpredictability. The wind, the water's movement, and the changing light all play their roles, creating variations in each frame. Embracing these imperfections is part of the charm of this type of photography. It reminds me that nature's beauty is not always perfect but is, nonetheless, captivating.

My day out at Blue Lagoon was a transformative experience. The ability to slow down time and capture the serenity of this hidden paradise was awe-inspiring. As I packed up my gear and left Blue Lagoon, I carried with me a collection of images that encapsulated the tranquillity and beauty of this remarkable place. Long-exposure photography allowed me to connect with the essence of nature and create images that I would cherish for a lifetime.
