You can cover/uncover the lens with black cardboard, & move the camera in between 'exposures'. No tripod. Just dance around with the camera & a lens cover, see what kind of abstract you can get. Or multi-exposure. 10 seconds can be a lot of time.

Yep, esp if you're shooting in daylight or studio conditions...unless you like the whiteout effect :-)

...just go outside at night. The moon is nearing full and interesting things can happen if you let them.

What if you want to do an HDR? Do all the exposures have to be 10 seconds, or will only one of them work?

IMO any photo used and submitted for validation must have an exposure time of 10 seconds. For HDR you'd need to adjust the ISO, aperture, or lighting.

I think you have answered your own question. any HDR would seriously alter the flavour of the recipe by an astonishing transmogrification of the essential ingredient.

And hand the front page over to the astrophotographers?

Hmm in astrophotog terms, 10 seconds is barely worth the effort for star trails (unless you luck into getting a shooting star). If you want those cool entire-arc star trails, you have to have a way longer time frame than 10 seconds...going by what I've gotten at 3-4 minutes, you probably need more like an hour at bare minimum.

No, ND (Neutral Density) filters cut the total amount of light (supposedly) without chsnging the color balance.

The CPL (I "assume" that's a Circular Polarizer) will cut the light somewhat, but in addition only permits light rays in certain planes to pass through (polarization), which has the effect of reducing some reflections (as off water -- polarized sunglasses were first popularized by fishermen who could now see into the water), and it will increase the blues in the sky and the contrast/detail in clouds. Polarizers are typically most effective when shooting at approximately right-angles to the sun.

Oh,

Thanks for explaining that, looks like I may get to pick up a new toy

I have played with the CPL when it was cloudy and man did it make a huge difference with that. Loved it

you should also use a ND for this...it will really help with your results. Allow for any vignetting in your picture...I seem to always get it in my shots when I stack my filters...but I just "deal with it" and allow for cropping. (thank goodness it's not minimal editing!!!)
