Went out to a favourite shoot location: Wainui South Coast – here on google maps
My cunning plan was to reshoot a previous xpan longexposure, this one:
I love the sinusoidal flow thats revealed in the stream on the left, from shooting this as a long exposure so I decided I wanted to reshoot it from a much lower angle. So that the foreground consumes the frame. On the edge of the stream, at ground level.
Shooting long exposure means the camera has to be stable. I have a cinebag that I use with my DSLR sometimes shooting video – its like a mini bean bag/sand bag, and it works well for quick temporary setups. But I kept thinking about stable low angle setups & eventually found this Edelkrone rig:
I’m using two Edelkrone products:
the legs are “edelkrone StandONE All-Terrain Foldable Camera Stand”

And the head is a FlexTILT Standard
Some xpan previz shots using Camera1 app in 235 mode:
I will share the results when back from the lab…
But the strange thing was that the shot I imagined was gone! Weirdly, the stream that flowed directly South out into the sea, now snaked its way West before eventually meeting the sea. Quite strange, there’s now a quite large lagoon where the stream used to be…. It will take a winter storm to flood the creek & move the mouth back…
