Couple of long exposures

Ravinder · 29th August 2015, 18:12

Went to Kinghorn beach with a friend from the local photography club who kindly showed me how to take long exposure shots. These are some of my first attempts. I'm quite pleased with the way they came out. 45 seconds and 90 second exposures with ND filter mounted on tripod and remote shutter. Thanks. Ravinder

Great photos, I would not have guessed that was your first attempt whatsoever

Ravinder · 29th August 2015, 20:39

One of my first attempts

In fairness, my friend Warren helped me to achieve this so I am very grateful to him. I am confident that I can do this myself now

Least I learned something!

] I am guessing a tripod was involved in this,haven't see anyone hold camera steady for that long but*excellent shots, its always nice when someone more experienced passes on tips be it in photography or about our treasured cars

Yes, tripod otherwise it's impossible. Also used a remote shutter to avoid touching the camera. Will be going down to the beach next week to try some more of these pictures.

Other things to help long exposure photos is to use mirror lock up and to set your ISO low and off auto

Thank you. I'm not familiar with mirror lock up.

ISO was set to 200.
