Daytime long exposures - EOS 550D

[markdrysdale]

Hi,

I have recently got the hang of nightime long exposures, star streaks, tail lights etc but I still just can't get things to work for daytime long exposures, I need some helpful tips!

Everytime I try I just get a bright white overexposed picture.

Anyone able to give me advice on basic setup, aperture, shutter speeds etc?

All help very, very gratefuly received!

As far as I know...you try doing any sort of long-time exposure during the day, then all the daylight is going to flood your camera. You can try setting iso down to the lowest number and changing your aperture....but anything longer than like 10 seconds is going to be super exposed I bet.


Then again, I am just guessing. Maybe someone else knows how, though!




*when I say long-time, I am assuming like 15+ seconds.

Use your lowest ISO, your smallest aperture, and you probably need a neutral density filter.
