I particularly enjoyed making some long exposure pictures in both Portugal and Paris earlier this year. Paris, in particular, using the Seine River as a setting yielded some pleasing results. In an effort to keep my gear and travel weight to a minimum all of these shots were made with a Canon 5D Mark iii body and a Canon 24/105mm f4.0 L series sense. For camera stabilization I mounted onto a large Gorilla Pod with a ball head. This set up worked fine provided there was a stable object nearby to set the tripod on. A selection of my favorite longs are below.
