    I believe this is the best way to set your camera up when shooting long exposures. Do you set yours up differently? I'd be very interested to hear how.
    Cheers
    Gary

    • @zaf9834
      @zaf9834 Před 4 lety +1

      Erm... its a miss and go first few times. Set iso 64, aperture f8 ish, focus middlish some place, manual mode and hope for the best. Im going yo save your video and play it twice and put a note in the iphone exact order. I have 70 percent perfected myself so far. Excellent video. Thanks going to subscribe to your channel.

    • @bcegerton
      @bcegerton Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks Gary, I usually just wing it on shutter speed but lately have been using the live view/light meter and it seems so far I’m doing it right.

      Hi Gary.... Greetings from Bali....., thank you so much for your respond, very appreciated ... I will do and follow exactly your Tutorial here..., and the plan is this week end.. go to the quite beach (*___*).
      Never stop to learn about Longexp.., what I think also the point in here is the Filter ND it's self who can make the Longexp Landscape result is "Amazing Picture".
      I'm not use Haida Filter... just using ND10 mid quality filter... (no doubted for Haida). I'm sure that I still can get the better Longexp quality photos too....

    • @philipedwardcaddick4294
      @philipedwardcaddick4294 Před 4 lety

      Yes there is no image stabilisation switch on the lenses so I have to go into camera menus to find it , which is a real faff and pain . I know to get a good quality image it needs to be switched off but I was wonder if with built in it was so detrimental

    • @tomwebb3081
      @tomwebb3081 Před 4 lety

      Pretty much the only difference I have is as I use back button focus I don't need to switch the lens to manual. Additionally I've found my camera will happily expose (down to 30s) with a 10 stop filter so I can take the photo in aperture priority mode which makes me a little quicker. Anything over 30s I too need an app etc.
      What are your thoughts re mirror lock up? Have you found it necessary?

    One of the easiest and best instructional videos on Long Exposure! Only thing I don't understand is, why your channel doesn't have over 100-k subscribers yet! I challenge all of Gary's subscribers to invite one person to join. That would push this channel over the 100-k mark! This channel deserves it! Thanks Gary from one of your followers in the USA!

    Thanks Gary, an excellent explanation and very good application of the KISS principle. It’s at times like this I appreciate being old enough that my first camera had no light meter and all the settling were manual and established by a light meter.

    Gary, are you a teacher? Oh my God, by far this is the best tutorial I ever seen about this topic. You are amazing. Finally I understand how to take Long Exposure Photos. The way you describe everything, your attention to detail and the simplicity of your explanation make anyone to understand something that "look" simple but, for beginners, is not. Thanks.

  • @robbieb6455
    @robbieb6455 Před 3 lety +2

    Gary, Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us all. I was failing miserable at long exposure work until I discovered your channel. I went up to Marys Shell just the other day in order to put what you have taught me into practice, I'm so pleased with the outcome. Surly we should be paying for these brilliant tutorials of yours? Hey, Just seen your midnight long exposure work of todays date!
    Brilliant! OK, so, should I ever bump into you and your good lady, then, well, a well deserved 3 course meal on me as a thank you.
    Keep up the good work. Much appreciated. Kind Regards

  • @stuartross1081
    @stuartross1081 Před 4 lety

    Thanks Gary for taking the time to record this helpful video. (I'm pretty comfortable with the maths.) One other aspect I encounter when going to, say, 4 minutes is that the light situatiion will actually change during the exposure so you may have needed 480 seconds at the start and just 120 seconds by the end, and the histogram will have retrospectively dropped off the right hand end of the shelf. I think it needs a bit of judgement or even luck sometimes. I climb mountains and try to avoid too much luggage (remote timer is hassle). Fuji XT2 can be set for up to 15 minutes exposure without any add on kit.

    Very nice most of my long exposure are 35mm film at night and my lense is open for hrs. Shooting that way since the late 70s.
    Just this week I purchased my first digital camera that is not a pocket point and shoot.
    I found your teaching very accurate without extra fluff.
    So thank you for that.
    This weekend I plan on going to lassen volcanic national park and applying you're teachings with my new toy a sony slt a77ll.
    Your short class is expertly executed. I picked up enough to improve on it.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Keep shooting.
