A Beary Happy Anniversary!

A Beary Happy Anniversary!
Saturday Self-Challenge: In honor of our second anniversary as a group, choose something you've learned in SSC and take a photo using this technique.

I chose long exposure for this challenge because I learned so much about the relationship between exposure time, F-stop and ISO. It wasn't until after I took this image and my camera battery went dead that I saw I forgot to remove the polarizing filter off the lens! I wonder how different my settings would be had I removed it before snapping this photo!

These tiny teddy bears are part of a large collection of miniature bears I collected about 20 years ago. They range in size between one and two and half inches (2.4 cm - 6.35cm).

Many thanks to all my fellow group members for two years of fun and learning together, and Happy Anniversary, SSC!

~Thank you so very much for your comments and faves, my friends! You are most kind! ~

They look so lovely, a well exposed photo! I guess the polarizer added intensity to the colours and made your exposure time a bit longer but without knowing you had it on nobody would guess.

Very beautiful arrangement! Wonderful colors and excellent illumination. Lovely all around. I assume you used a tripod or similar camera support? By the way, without the polarizing filter I would hazard a guess that your exposure time would have been around 0.6 second (if I remember correctly the effect of the filter is to reduce the light by about two stops).

Hi Val

I like this very much!

I do like the long exposure effects you can get, accidental or otherwise.
Any idiot can wind up the ISO to get a picture in the dark, but it takes an expert like yourself to produce a long exposure picture on a low ISO...

Best wishes, and a Good Weekend!
