Traffic at night long exposure advice.

[Bevel Heaven]

bean bags make excellent camera holders when you don;t have your tripod with you - I would also use a lens cap or small stone or my wallet of whatever to prop up the lens as req'd. You can also take a shirt or sweater etc to hold the camera - but obviously you would prefer something more rigid....... And yes, always hold onto your camera strap!!

how do you change the shutter speed?

Atreus, if you want to get together some time and shoot at night, send me an IM.

how do you change the shutter speed?

as this varies from camera to camera, i suggest to consult the manual.

 

[average]

f/22
iso - 200
exposure - 2.5 secs
manual focus
no flash

editing - contrast and vignetting. slight brightening to compensate for the large amount of black

If you can, shoot in RAW. You'll have a little bit more play with exposure in post-proc.
