Cool photos Mike. My Canon 80D is quite cool. In bulb mode you can set the time you want of shutter speed for however many seconds, minutes or hours you want, then it will do it when you press the button to take it. Think it goes up to 120 hours which is mental. The battery wouldn't Last that long if you were somewhere outdoors. 😂 You'd want to obviously use the timer too to stop any camera wobble or use the Canon app on a phone is great too. I don't even need to buy a remote for it. You can set the shutter speed on the app in bulb mode too. What a difference from cameras even 10 years ago. I love experimenting with long exposures. On my bridge camera one winter's day after the sun disappeared, I did a 60 second exposure at 600mm focal length of our lighthouse with the sea and rocks in the foreground. I did however manually focus it before it got dark. The lighthouse was 2.5 miles away. It was pitch black. I couldn't see my hand or the sea on the beach just in front of me, but the shot came out with a lovely shape of light from the lighthouse. The sea was like glass and I had actually captured a seagull looking sideways on a rock which was perfectly sharp too. This winter I hope to replicate the shot at the same tide height, to get the same rocks in view, using my Canon 80D. 🙂
Loved your video thank you Mike! Can you please tell me what the name of your bigger screen for viewing is called, and how I can get myself one. I have trouble with my eyes, and this would be fantastic to see my images through the bigger screen than the camera's view screen. Or maybe a video on it - pro's, cons and links. Thank you!
Hi @Maureen Johnston. Thanks. Mine's an Atomos 4K screen recorder. Had a quick Google for "on camera monitors" (suggest you rund same search yourself) and there's lots of results. if you're in the UK I thought this looked interesting.... MB proav.co.uk/accessories/monitoring/on-camera-monitors
@@MikeBrowne Thank you for your quick reply. I would love to be back in the UK, (Macclesfield), but I am way across the other side of the World. I live in Tasmania Australia, where Princess Mary of Denmark comes from. I will do some research and hope I can afford one very soon. Have a great day and thank you once again. Cheers M
It depends on how much available light you have at the time of shooting Hubert. As you saw in the video the light changed so the ISO had to change as well to get the same shutter speed. These things are always changing. If you'd like help clarifying these things (and more) try my Masterclass In Photography online course.

I don't understand why you need to increase ISO for a longer shutter speed. Doesn't it means that shutter is opened for a long time and more light will get in? So you should decrease ISO not increase?
@Happy Dreamer - @William answer below is correct. It's mentioned in the video but easy to miss when there's lots going on. As photographers we have to be aware of our surroundings all the time - especially changing light... MB
Hi @Alan Rogers. Sorry for the late reply. I've been running a photo workshop in Spain. If you have auto ISO on, you can change shutter and aperture for creative control over movement and depth of field, but the camera will control exposure because as you change shutter / aperture, it will compensate by changing ISO. I never use auto ISO because I might want an image brighter or darker than the camera says it should be. Hope this helped a bit. I can help you a lot with this and more in my Masterclass In Photography 4 week online course which has 100s of trustpilot reviews and is 100% guranteed. Give it a go. Links below...

@Claude Brisson It's an Atomos Ninja screen recorder. It enables me to record my viewfinder so you can see my settings, exposure, composition etc... MB
@@werm88 just wondering if f/8 or f/11 with a lower ISO would have been a better choice to reduce noise and deffraction. Why use high iso when you are trying to reduce shutter speed. I’m no expert, just trying to learn and understand.
It’s all about the type of effect you are going for. He was reducing shutter speed for a long exposure to capture the movement of the background with the subject in place. The increased f stop reduces the light coming into the camera so you can reduce the shutter speed and the iso is adjusted for the desired brightness. Sure you could use f8 and a lower iso, but you would have to increase shutter speed or the image would be super bright.
@Bubble If I remember correctly camera was already 0n f22. I could have lengthened shutter speed but chose toincrease ISO. Unless you have an old camera, need to crop heavily or enlarge massively ISO doesn't make much difference to image quality until you get up around 1000 or more... MB
