Camera Settings for Fireworks?
You want a small aperture to ensure good DOF, F16 or smaller. ISO 100 (L.01) or 200 to reduce noise. Put the camera on a tripod, point in the area where the fireworks will be going off & focus manually (with big DOF you don't need to be exact). Have the camera on 'bulb' setting and open shutter as they go up. When you've got a few burst in the same place, close the shutter again. Use a remote release to minimise camera shake from pressing the shutter.
What is the best setting for a camera to capture fire?
That depends on the situation. In daylight, you can probably use the automatic exposure settings on your camera and get pretty good fire pictures. I don’t remember who took this picture, but one of the crew members brought a camera to fire school long ago. I suspect that he was shooting on automatic exposure, and this one turned out well.If you are shooting a fire in darkness, the answer will likely depend on what effect you want to get and how big the fire is. Your camera’s automatic exposure settings will try to make the image match an 18% gray solid. A small flame in a black background is likely to be overexposed on the flame as the camera tries to make the background gray. A large flame that fills the frame of the photo is likely to be under exposed as the camera tries to make the bright orange and yellow appear to be 18% gray.If I were trying to capture the sense of a campfire, I would consider doing a time exposure on bulb setting or maybe just shoot for half a second to a second. I’d probably start around f5.6 to f8 and maybe ISO 200 to ISO 400. I’d then adjust according to the effect that I wanted to produce.
What two controls or settings on a manual camera allow you to adjust the amount of exposure of film to light?
The aperture (f stop) is the basic control for the dof - shutter speed for affecting how movement is recorded - faster speed less movement blur bracketing is when a number of exposures are made at different settings to produce shots which are under/correct/over exposed. This can be controlled by either aperture or shutter depending on the effect required,
How can I take two Identical photos with different exposures using bridge camera (BenQ gh650)?
I know about blending two exposures into one photo.. but the question is... how can I use my camera to take these two identical photos with different exposures?? I thought about fixing it on a tripod and use exposure bracketing.. will it work? Any help would be appreciated. PS: I have a built in HDR function but it just increases the dynamic range, still leaving one expounder a bit better than the other.. so I don't like it. I want them both to be perfect.
How to take long exposure pictures with Canon Powershot SX10 IS?
Hello - I want to take long exposure pictures (like cars on the street at night, flashlights making patterns in the dark, running water during the day) on my camera. I've tried looking at the manual but it's pretty confusing. I know you have to lower the ISO to let in less light and do something with the lens to keep it open longer but I don't know how. Your answer would be very much appreciated!
What does the EV (exposure value) setting do? Does it affect shutter speed, and does it have the same effect as adjusting the shutter speed on my camera?
I didn’t understand your question until I read the other replies. Let’s assume they have guessed correctly, and look at the terminology.Exposure value - Wikipedia is a number that represents combinations of shutter speeds and aperture that correspond to the same exposure. For example, 1/60 s at f/8 corresponds to EV 12. So do 1/125 s at f/5.6 and 1/250 s at f/4. The higher the EV, the less light gets to the sensor. Adding 1 to the EV halves the amount of light (for example, 1/250 s at f/5.6 in the example above).Exposure compensation is a function of automatic exposure systems. Let’s assume that you know from experience that in a certain situation, your automatic exposure system will underexpose. For example, it might give you an exposure of 1/250 s at f/5.6 (EV 13) when you really need 1/125 s at f/5.6 (EV 12). Your camera will have an exposure compensation function where you can set exposure compensation to +1 EV, which will subtract 1 EV from the exposure to give you EV 12. If the others have guessed correctly, this is what you are asking about.Note a couple of things:Exposure compensation subtracts the value from the exposure. EV 13 with +1 EV compensation gives you EV 12. EV 13 with -1 EV compensation gives you EV 14.1 EV compensation is quite a bit. Your camera will probably offer steps of ⅓ EV (usually called 0.3 EV and 0.7 EV), which correspond to the shutter speed gradations. Some cameras can also be set to 0.5 EV steps.Does it affect the shutter speed? That depends on other settings. In shutter priority mode, no. In aperture priority mode, maybe. It depends on whether you have auto ISO set or not. I recommend not to use auto ISO, and on my camera in aperture priority, exposure compensation directly affects the shutter speed. Similar considerations apply to changing aperture.
What is long exposure in photography?
So im interested in photography but i dont really know anything about it. I am thinking about buying a lomography camera, probably the diana mini because i read that it is for beginners. I was reading about it and it keeps talking about long exposure. Could someone please tell me what it is and how to do it? thanks!
