I spend way to much time in this thread, I'm assuming you were using something like a 1.4 there?

42zx · 22 Oct 2013 at 18:55

Yup, Canon 35L. My precious.

Love my 5S way too much.

Looks good, any ND filters or just stopped down?

Thank you for the kind words - just stopped down with no filters at all. Thinking I'll play about with the exposure settings next time and try to capture more of the surrounding area as well as the trails.

You should try and do them just after sunset when there's a bit more ambient light. You'll get more detail in the sky

Thanks for the tip Benjo - I'm hoping to get out again later early next week (weather permitting) and I'll follow your advice

Criticise please

I need to learn to keep the camera steady and also know what aperture to use to get just the sign and gate in focus but the rest out, I'm guessing about 5?

Well on subjects such as that, keeping the camera straight is a good start.

42zx · 26 Oct 2013 at 10:31

I'd probably buy a 50mm 1.8 as well if you really want blurred backgrounds. Assuming you're using the 18-55 atm?

The widest open you can, as much focal length as you can get away with, as close to the subject as you can get away with.
