If so, you will need a tripod and a cable release. Your camera has to be operated in Manual Mode - you take control and tell the camera what to do.
Your camera will need to have a Time (T) or Bulb (B) setting on the shutter speed. This is needed for holding the shutter open for several seconds. It will also heve to accept a mechanical cable release. (There are "electronic" cable releases for most cameras but it will not hold the shutter open - as soon as the connection is made the shutter closes.)
Of course, your camera may allow you to set the length of time you want the shutter to stay open - then you don't need a cable release. Check your Owner's Manual.
If your camera doesn't have a tripod socket on its bottom you'll need a good firm solid support to sit it on.
For a city skyline in the distance, at ISO 200, your settings would be :
30 seconds @ f11
15 seconds @ f8
8 seconds @ f4
From my FotoSharp Day & Night Exposure Guide (fotosharp.com).
If you want to use ISO 400 just divide the shutter times by 2. |
