Thanks! From looking at your photo's from Fishermans Wharf did you use the tripod for those shots? May look into getting this tripod since I mainly wanted to take pics from twin peaks/treasure island at night.

Yup. All using a tripod. Had to take a good couple cause some cars moved and some cars didn't and I wanted pics with no movement at all. Like I said, it is a total pain to setup these photos especially with foot traffic and rain but after you get that shot, it is all worth it. I use to even make fun of folks with tripods thinking they just didn't have fast lenses. Boy was I wrong.

i think for that shot 20 secs. i was so frustrated that night, i bought an old vivtar 283 off ebay and a radio trigger set to prevent this issue haha.

2morrowbegins2day....Nice shots. I need to really learn how to fix my white balance better. I like my shots but I feel like I need to have it more on a blue hue. For some reason with this Canon, I am having a harder time fixing it but I am also not doing custom white balance as well. I need to find some sort of white thing to carry with me.

Ditto Fong! I'm glad to see your collection of pics aren't Fisheye heavy (not that they were bad or anything). Your last set was dope, great compositions/detail & color.

Canons lean a bit more toward warmer color temperatures (urks the hell outta me). I usually just fix it in post (LR4). Also, I shoot in Neutral (picture style) and found that it helps me bring out truer (or cooler) tones in post.

Guys can you post your aperture, ISO, and shutter speeds with your pics? Nice pics.

Who here shoots RAW?

I've been shooting RAW since I had my Rebel XT.

I don't worry about having the correct white balance as I could easily correct it inside Camera Raw.

 

[thadocta]

i dont shoot raw but maybe i should start

 

[khankussionz]

ISO 100... f/16... 30 seconds...

 

[niwreig]

ISO 100... f/16... 30 seconds...

[la08native]

You should.

Bigger files sizes though.

CR2 files which can only be read by certain programs such as Adobe Bridge... or the Raw file reader that should've came with your camera.

Thanks! Giving the settings will help noobs like myself. Love that pic khankussionz, I want to try some long exposures. If you were shooting fireworks would you use a longer exposure?

 

[bigrockford]

Tried something new today. I turned the ISO all the way up on my camera and took a few shots earlier. I even shot in Tiff format.. 100+ Mb files, SMH.. Had an idea that I figured no one else would do for the "Long Exposure" theme. When I was done with my pic, my model wanted to take some pictures so he could look at himself.
Seen this on the photography website that I lurk on.. http://content.photojojo.com/tips/7-new-year-projects/ a great website for amateur and pros alike, I always find useful tips and stuff on here. I might even join and participate in their forum.

If you just want to carry your tripod on you without your bag, just put your camera strap on ur tripod and carry it on ur back..

Thanks, it was at 102mm on my 55-200. I wanted to go wider but there were floodlights half way up the shot on both sides.

thanks. def go longer exposure. it will capture the tails.

 

[Fong$tarr]

Guys can you post your aperture, ISO, and shutter speeds with your pics? Nice pics.

Most of my long exposures that I have put up on the last page was 20-30 seconds at F/20 at ISO 800.

If they are Flickr images click them. The page should show the Camera used and further down the page will show ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, and even the lens used.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Good job on the long exposure shots guys, def need to learn how to take one.

Haha I've been meaning to get a tripod for a while now just haven't been able to find a sturdy one I guess. I'll definitely have to get one by the summer time. Want to get some nice sunset shots by the beach.

I always shoot in raw even though it takes up a lot of space. Great long exposure shots guys!


DSC_0355-1 by Yanky4585, on Flickr

My first long exposure shot I took back on Halloween. I thought it was great back then but now that I look at it I see that there is too much distraction with the light poles taking away the focus from the buildings. :/ Once I get that tripod I will be putting in work to get some decent long exposure shots.

Love this shot. I need to learn to take shots like this.

1 word. Amazing. What time of day was this? Seems like every time I try and get a long exposure shot done with daylight there's too much light coming in from the sky. You've captured it beautifully.
