Thank you, Steven! Be sure to check out my complete long exposure guide, "Stretching Time," at my website. www.luminescentphoto.com www.luminescentphoto.com
Amazing presentation. Thank you for making this video available for everyone. Beautiful and inspiring pictures as well. You really excel on this subject, cheers Dr. !
Hi Jason, I have a question for you about long exposure photography? I enjoyed watching your video. (1) You talk about the exposure time, but can you tell me how you use the aperture and ISO in these photos. Thanks
Renaud, pour ce genre d'images il est important que la mise au point se fasse sur les rochers. Ce sont les objets qui ne bougent pas qui doivent être net. Ce qui se passe c'est que l'eau s'efface quasi complètement, pour cette raison il ne faut pas faire la mise au point sur elle. Les choses que vous apercevez comme normal en vie réelle se transforment, ici l'eau prend un état presque gazeux.
Would have been more helpful if he mentioned or put on the slide the. 1. Strength of ND filter. 2. ISO. 3. Aperture. and 4. Shutter speed on each photo
This kind of content is definitely worth gold and I can't thank you enough for making this free. It's tough enough trying to invest in all the expensive equipment to practice this craft but it's amazing when someone like you is willing to share with others the skills and ideas that would otherwise take way more time learn. We appreciate it very much.
Great webinar. A lot of good information well presented. The example photos are inspiring. BTW, your eBook is well done and will make a great reference to go back to.
thanks for this vid; i have one question that i think would be helpful to many of us who watched this presentation: what is your F stop and ISO. i image f stop is around 22 as u have great depth of field and iso perhaps 400? please help.
+Eric Cohen As I discuss in the video, ISO is almost always at the lowest possible "in-spec" setting and my f-stop will depend on the look I'm trying to get and the overall exposure calculation. I'm usually between f/11 and f/16 for most shots, but I will go down to f/22 if necessary.
Liked the presentation but he left out how to determine the length of the exposure. That's kind of important. Nevermind, after posting the comment, I noticed that there are a ton of RU-vid videos that tell you how to calculate long exposure times without the need for special metering tools.
Jason: I have tried multiple exposures in one frame with 10 exposures on my D810. Problem is that my 10 shot (holding shutter release down ...yes, on a tripod) has vibration in the stationary parts of the image because of vibration from the mirror slam. If I lock mirror up, I can no longer set multiple exposures in one frame. Do you have a menu formula for setting this?
Really great vid. Thanks for the effort you put forth. I will say at 8:10 you missed one other very important bullet to the reason for long exposure....Astrophotography.
Thank you so much for the great tutorial. Lots of fantastic examples as well. Very rarely would I sit and watch a 50+ minute video, and to be honest I almost passed on this one just because of the length but I'm glad I didn't as it was very much worth one hour of my time ☺
Great explanation and amazing examples! I used to be a fan of short videos but they sometimes lead to confusion and the feeling that there's still some info missing. This video gave me a better idea of the topic and inspired to photograph. Thanks!
Thanks, John. I had updated my blog and the internal references got changed. The correct link is here: luminescentphoto.com/blog/eshop/stretching-time/
Great video. On long exposure during the day what did you set you ISO at? 50/100/200???? Trying to do some with a LG G5 smartphone. I actually bought some filters and a cheap tripod to try it out with. I know it isn't the same but want to give it a try. My ISO can go down to 50 and I can go up to 30 sec. exposure time too. Any other advise would be helpful. Will be going to Vermont to get some nice scenery pics in about a month. Also, during the night I will be going to Boston to see what I can do with light streaks with the CITGO sign in the background. How should I set up my ISO and exposure time? Thanks
hi Jason, please ignore my previous question about what your settings were with ISO and Aperture when taking those photos. I have another question? I have a D5500 Nikon and it appears to only go as low as 100 in ISO is there a way through the settings that I can get it to go below 100 ISO to obtain images for a longer exposure? I cannot find it?
Great video and gave me some wonderful ideas to play with. I scanned the comments but didn't see anything about figuring out how long to expose for. For one photo you exposed for 53 seconds. How did you determine time amount of time to leave the shutter open for, trial and error? Any feedback is appreciated. Quality work!!!
A bit of a long vid, but very informative!! Don't fear going into even more detail even more info even if it might get you off topic. You can always get back onto topic! For people like myself, I would have really loved if you did do that! Thank you Jason for posting this! It was very helpful!!! I most deffentaly will be watching this vid more then once!!!
Thank You soo much Jason, i am on the path doing long exposure photography, but Your video still has hidden information what was really useful to me. All the sample images are excellent. I am sure i am going to improve my photos in the future following Your advices. Thanks
Thank you so much, very interesting presentation. I had no idea about multiple exposure, what a great feature! I'm gonna play with it all weekend :) All the other tips and tricks & samples are very interesting, too, I really enjoyed the video.
What an eye opening lecture, thanks so much.I've learned quite a bit and I have just begun experimenting with long exposure ND filters so a timely education for me, a few years later. I also want to say your tone of voice and the speed at which make it very easy for ma at least to take in the information. Most You Tubers , for some reason, talk super fast and blast music that competes with their message. Ted
You started out speaking rather slow and choppy, but then you hit your stride, giving some really spectacular advise. I'm glad I stuck around, great educational video.
The way you have explained things right from the start giving proper context and going deep into why before how is simply amazing. Its one thing to have knowledge and another to beautifully and effectively make others understand. You have expertise in both of them. Subscribed.
Thank you Jason for a very very informative lesson on some great creative ideas in this world of photography. If I arrive in the next world with nothing to do, I hope I will have enough time to learn what I would like to know about photography. Surely there will be cameras there? Ron
Thank you for sharing this knowledge! I will check out your website. Fantastic images -- I have never done long exposure work, but I am an admirer of the resulting images.
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time and for so many good ideas. I especially like the thought of using long exposures to eliminate people or other distractions.
Excellent presentation, Jason. Some really great ideas. It is also nice to see someone else use the lens-zoom effect during exposure, I have done a few of these myself to see how they would turn out, and wondered why more people did not try it. I'm glad to finally see someone else also does it from time to time.
Hey Jason, Great Video! I stacked some cheaper ND filters together today to total 15 stops ND. There were no light leaks, but after the 8 minute exposure my photo was washed out and milky. I am guessing that this was because of a lens flare since I was shooting somewhat towards the sun. Any ideas? Could be something besides lens flare?
eonblue46 when doing long exposures make sure you cover the eyepiece with some tape or something. light will go through the eyepiece to the mirror and to the sensor.
