First time with a long exposure... C&C

[5Martyn5]

First attempt at a long exposure... ANY tips for doing long exposures will be REALLY appreciated! :sillysmi:

 

[bogeyguy]

Looks cool, but how long was your exposure?

 

[5Martyn5]

Looks good. i love long exposure night shots. Next time try a 30 seconded shot and watch what happens to the clouds.

Thanks nubbs! Im hoping to get back to london in a couple of weekends time, so i'll give that a try!

Does anyone have any advice of Daytime exposures? All i get is a bright white picture, no matter what the aperture is set to...

Looks great!

Do not wait to get back to London to shoot night stuff. I walk around my area and find stuff to shoot all the time.

Speed up your shutter for the day and lower your ISO

Using the bulb mode in the day isnt a wise idea? lool, i'll give that a shot then, cheers for your help

You need a ND filter. There's different level, .3, .6 and a .9. I believe the .9 cut down 3 f/stops. I've some amazing shots with ND filter and circular polarizer in front. I'm sure there's other with better knowledge that will chime in.
