That’s exactly what I love the most about photography. Long exposure at night. The feeling when you’re outside alone in the dark, looking for nice compositions. Feels so rewarding when you’re back home, looking at some descent pictures. All I can say, well done, you did a great job !

David Green I guess sometimes yes and sometimes no. All depends upon the light-meter - Aperture- Tv - ISO looking at the millennium bridge pics, they looked super sharp. Were any of the final pics post processed or photo-stacked or something. I’d love to make mine pop like yours. The detail in the pillar was crisp. As I say, I am happy with my comps, but they just ain’t sharp, not sure if it’s focus, settings, camera, lenses or just a learning curve and I will figure it out eventually

@27steve

Thanks for the reply, I have to say I have read a lot of camera reviews but as I recall nothing mentioned about about the 30 sec limit and which cameras have a longer limit. Perhaps something you can share with us in future

I believe you might be mistaken when you stated setting your focal length to 9mm is equal to 18mm for a full frame camera. I think it works the other way around and equals 6mm on a full frame sensor. Different makes of cameras have different crop factors, but any sensor less than full frame converts the lens to a longer f number than full frame. Half-frame cameras usually convert by 1.5 or 1.6.

@davidtrill4347

3 жыл бұрын

I thought I ought to comment on my above statement, I was wrong in assuming use of a half frame DSLR, I relies now that you were using a new mirrorless four thirds camera which as you rightly say converts to double the focal lenght of a full frame camera.
