Night Photography And Long Exposure

[THE MISSFITS]

As I didn't see one I thought I would start a thread on night photography and long exposure shots.

You need a good sturdy tripod, and if possible a cable release or gentle grip and fingers as you release the shutter.

Here are a couple to kick off. Most are 30 seconds, though some are less.

Feel free to ask questions etc..

Now for some light painting, here I used a torch to light the tractor. While the shutter is open, move the torch over what it is you are photographing.

You can use an external flash gun for this too (see second pic)

The site would not let me use the IMG coding to insert the images, so you will need to click your mouse on the links. All the links work, not the insertion of the images.

most of them say you need to sign up, but the one with the roundabout I can see - looks awesome!

If you still have your photos on your PC.

It is easy to upload them onto this site.

The only way it seems we can view them currently, is to click on the links then sign up.

Sorry folks, I made a pigs ear of the links. Now I can't seem to edit my original post. I will therefore ask Admin to delete this thread and start again as it will become scruffy otherwise.

Sorry for the c*ck up.

Just to say I have asked admin to delete this thread due to me posting duff links.
