SmugMug > keywords > low light > 28.10.09 - Timing I originally intended taking a new night time image today, but I've been out and about with the kids all day and simply didn't get an opportunity. But that is OK, because my last two pics have generated a lot of comment, especially from people who have never tried this sort of shot before. I'm very evangelical about low light photography, and I know that lots of people are intimidated by it, but there is no need to be. Here are 3 more shots from the bridge last night, put together to illustrate how the shutter speed controls the image. The left hand shot was taken on auto, which I usually do as a marker to show me the prevailing lighting conditions. It is way too slow to manage hand held, but not slow enough to be very different from a daytime shot. Individual vehicles are still visible, if a little blurred. The other two shots were taken using shutter priority. In the central image anything moving has become invisible, but the light trails from individual vehicles can still be seen. In the final shot it is hard to discern even individual light trails, much longer and they would all merge into constant trails. In all the shots, anything that is stationery looks just the same as it always would. Only movement is altered. Now is the time to experiment with this. You'll love it, I promise, and you'll quickly start to know what effects you will get, and how to manipulate the effects just using shutter speed. Any issues, please contact me privately, I'd be more than happy to help. One big tip, don't wait until total darkness. That extra little bit of colour in the sky makes such a difference. In total darkness you'll pretty much only get the light trails. Apologies that the full exif data is lost in collages.
SmugMug > keywords > low light > 27.10.09 - Changing Lanes I decided to visit an old viewpoint again this evening. Unfortunately I was a bit late to get much colour, so I may well try again soon. As I was on a bridge to take this I had terrible problems with traffic vibration. I took a whole lot of shots at different shutter speeds to show the different effects on the traffic and the lights. But anything longer than 5 seconds was tempting fate that a big lorry would come past and shake the camera. This was the sharpest "longish" exposure that I could get, so again I might have to return to address the vibration problem. Thanks for the nice words on yesterday's ghostly traffic shot. These really are very easy, and a lot of fun to play with, just keep the camera steady!
