[Leica] Long exposure with an M10

[Richard Clompus]

I’ve been experimenting with longer exposures with an M10.  Using a 15 stop ND filter, you can get the M10 with ISO 100 and the 2 sec self-timer function to open the shutter for 4 minutes.  This is followed by 4 min of noise reduction.  This makes it easier than to use an external shutter release cable and a timer.  Combing the M10 with the Leica R to M adapter and the R 180/3.4 APO lens, provides nice images.  

Here’s a recent photo taken at Trinidad Bay in my backyard:  http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rclompus/Trinidad+Bay.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rclompus/Trinidad+Bay.jpg.html>

The waters look pleasant and peaceful.  Unfortunately, a 19 year old kayaker died last week venturing out alone in the same waters.  

Be well,
Richard
