Yeah, he's a bit of an idiot but I just couldn't be bothered entertaining it. I thought you were going to say something about my pictures :p

So it is not overexposed?

Okay, I'll play.

In most of my pictures there are parts that are over exposed and there are parts that are under exposed. "It is over-exposed" is not a proper critique. You have to be more specific. You haven't even said what picture you're referring to.

Anyway, no they aren't. If anything, they're mostly under exposed.

Jog on now.
 

Shutter Speed Testing! by adam2109, on Flickr

Just testing the slow shutter speed and how it all works, currently reading "Understanding ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture – A Beginner’s Guide"

It really is a lot to get your hear around :)

Can these "time lapse" pictures be took in the day time? It i try do this test anywhere else the picture comes out nearly white, i guess the camera is letting in too much light?

The setting i used was ISO 100, it was at F5.6 and shutter speed was at "BULB" (think that was the only setting i could use for this type of shot?)

Still getting my head around things at the moment so not took much pictures. I'll go out to a park or something on my next day off and take some snaps :cool:
 
Timelapse pictures are different to long exposures.

If you mean long exposures then yes, the camera is letting in too much light. Change the aperture so it lets in less light. Change the shutter speed so it is shorter. Put sunglasses in front of the lens so it is less sensitive to light. It's hard to get the affect of long exposures in daylight without a ND filter though...

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi, great shots!this is the type of shots I want to try learn how to do :)

Two questions if I may, how do you link photos from flickr to here? How did you add your name to the image? ;)

Thanks!

Sorry, just switched on my pc - you need to copy and paste the BBCode link from flickr. My watermark is done for me in Lightroom. I have it configured to add a watermark on Flickr and Facebook exports.

Thanks for the comments, this is my first chance at taking photos during autumn (started photography early Feb). I had to drag my 3yr old son with me, so my area to practise was limited but fruitful. I also had to limit myself to a single lens (difficult to change lens when you are chasing your toddler and your 2 wandering dogs), so I wanted to get some use out of my rarely used 18-55 kit lens.

They just look blown out. Especially compared to the images on your FB link. Other than that they are great :)

They can and they cant be taken during the day. If you want to take them during the day ideally you'd put the f-number as high as possible so that the aperture only lets in minimal light but even at that you may have to add an ND filter to the front of the lens to reduce the light even further (a 10 stop filter is really good for this but at 100 quid its hardly cheap!)

Typically with the light painting / light trails etc they are done nearer sunset / night time so that the light you're using shows up better against the backgrounds.

take a look here at some good examples by ishamy

I like them, they have the old retro feel that you can get from camera films. Also makes the images more personal instead of the usual clean/sterile or HDR overblown photos were are used to seeing these days. :cool:

Just had a mess around with aperture and iso with slow shutter speeds and i managed to get the same effect in a lighter room. I can see how they all work together more :)

I guess what i was trying to learn is "long exposure" photography as apposed to "time lapse" which i think is video! :)

Time lapse is the same image setting where the content and weather and light differs throughout the lapse of time. Then all the images are streamed.

Long exposure is simply long shutter open time for a single image, so water will look mysterious, or you can capture the earth revolving such as this

That image is amazing! must have had that shutter open ages! Guess he used some lens to keep the light out as i have only tested 30 seconds and it lets a hell of a lot of light in even at iso 100 f-max !

I'm starting to get my head around it better now, just tested a load with the camera placed on the table, managed to get the image from pitch black to white with no change in light in the room! Quite interesting how it all works.

My final image come out as if it was day light in here, yet all blinds are shut :eek:
