1st Three legs are better than two. A tripod is essential, but instead of running out and buying an old tripod I recommend saving for a well built model from a reputable manufacturer are Gitzo and Manfrotto tripod two, in my mind. A tripod that is poorly built or is too easy for your camera next to useless as it is with every gentle breeze shake or even under the vibration of the camera shutter.
2nd Use a low ISO. You can onlythink, ok, low light, the ISO. The unfortunate side effect of increased ISO noise is increased, this became a real problem when shooting at slow shutter speeds, so keep the ISO down is of great importance. Just use a slower shutter speed instead, knowing that the camera is supported by your sturdy tripod.
3rd Ever heard of a gray filter? Available in a variety of strengths and assess how much light they cut. In essence, ND filters reduce the amountAt the same time light hits your sensor gives no further changes in the color temperature or visual quality. In practice, they will often change the color temperature slightly but there is nothing that can not be resolved with the white balance. Now we can assume are photographing a waterfall, and we want to make the water like a gentle mist. First you would select a low ISO and small aperture to achieve the longest shutter speed, even the shutter speed can be faster than you wish. Just popon a ND filter to slow things down even more and a little dance.
4th Film is not dead! Now photos with long exposures, it is not. In contrast to digital sensors, which develop unpleasant noises during long exposures film treats them well and can make some really great long exposure images. One issue of note in the use of film for long exposure times is a guy working as reciprocity failure known. Basically, film loses sensitivity over the length of the exposure light, and this mustbe compensated. Find a reciprocity chart for each brand and type of film you use to increase your exposure compensation and bob's your uncle, assuming you have an uncle named Bob, that is.
5th Guiding Light. No, I am not referring to a golden light that leads out of the sky and you on the path of forgiveness, this is called acid and was big in the 70s. What I am referring is an inexpensive, battery operated torch. Trust me when I say it is an essential piece of kit. How toStart shooting long exposure photos that you begin to find themselves in situations of twilight, a torch is a huge win for you to change settings on the camera and find your way out of locations in the dark.
