I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Perseverance and patience are tricky bedfellows but when it comes together I totally get your excitement when the negative turns into a positive and a little dance ensues 😂
Excellent video. Of course there are Nick Carver vibes, which, for me, is great because I can't get enough of that kind of stuff. Hugely informative. Thank you for sharing and please make more videos.
If you need a photo clear of traffic and say 4s or whatever exposure, you could probably use bulb mode and split it into say two separate parts? (assuming objects don't move, camera is stationary and there is not large time difference to change direction and intensity of sun). I've never done that but this video made me wonder if there is any problem in such a split. It could be a usefull tool in the toolbox for those nasty shots when you have gaps but not long enough gaps.
That is an interesting idea, maybe I will try that the next time I am in this situation. Not sure which would be better the way I did it or having an object move. In any case thank you for the good idea.
"Get out there and take the photo". That is my biggest challenge. Do you ever setup on the median strip to take these photos? Or too risky? I have a couple like this I want to shoot, but they would look better from the middle of the road Thanks for the great video.
In this case it was way too small and unsafe. That is why I had to use a longer lens and shoot from across the street. Thanks for watching, and yes just get out and take the shot.
