BarHugger Posted January 4, 2015 Share The Lighthouse . Love it. Teach us amateurs.......except for the obvious quality equipment, what settings were used? (competition time) My guesstimate.....200 ISO / f/4 / shutter speed 1/2s (and uni/tripod) (.....or just an amazing auto setting.....)

(competition time) My guesstimate.....200 ISO / f/4 / shutter speed 1/2s (and uni/tripod) (.....or just an amazing auto setting.....)Auto is for the birds and never gets the light right.Shoot in raw as well, it's the best, you never really know what you got till you start the editing. For this shot.A long wait in the rain for a glimmer of colour.Then the composition. Select the aperture for what I want to achieve.With this shot it is more difficult than just wanting a long exposure.I take a light meter reading from three different spots in the scene.Select my ISO accordingly and try and keep the ISO as low as possible. To soften the water and get the "spooky" effect you need 10 seconds plus.I wanted the setting glow of the sun, I wanted sharp focus all round and selected f 9, i should have taken f 11, it gives the bright lights a star effect. ISO 160f 920 second exposure . BarHugger and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted January 5, 2015 Share Do you use an ND filter for such long exposures?You use an ND filter if (a) you want to get different colours and (b) when the light is very bright.In this case 20 seconds at a dark sunset you don't need one .
