    to avoid flares or "starbursts" from light sources, usually shooting at any aperture under 5.6... the lower you take your aperture, the less this flare will occur. from my experience it comes from the aperture not the exposure time.

  • @Frisenette
    @Frisenette7 жыл бұрын

    Try pre-flashing your film. That will bring down the effect of reciprocity failure significantly and get you much better shadow detail. Also low ISO films like Ektar 100 are actually better for multi second exposures than fast films. Pushed pre-flashed Portra 400 or Cinestill could be the ticket for handheld nighttime film photography.

    Cool video guys! I've been trying to figure out a way to take photos of myself painting various sculptures with my medium format camera - in order to see the motion in about a 30second time period. Would this work for that? Also, would I need a friend to stand there holding the cable or do they sell timed cable releases?

  • @ReubenJBrown

    I believe you can buy locked cable releases (so the button holds in, but you would still have to un-trigger it) or on more modern 35mm cameras (Nikon F100 as an example) there are sometimes ports for timed release cables.

    You recommend getting a dedicated meter. I noticed that using a DSLR as a meter in spot meter mode struggles at night time (even on, say, the ground under a street lamp it shows simply "too dark" etc). Specs show similar low-light sensitivity between most cameras and the current model Sekonic spot meters. Is there a difference in real world use?

    I've noticed something that usually happens to me, though I use digital cmareas and don't shoot analog: many photos taken during the night or very dark seem to be in daylight. I suppose that is due to big apperture or very long exposure. The point is how do you know if the exposure is right and the photo will look natural? Many times seem to be really artificial.

  • @kurbfeeler

    I know this was 4 years ago, but they can look like daylight when you follow the guidance of the in-camera light meter. It's attempting to give you info based on what it understands a properly exposed scene is and day vs night are very different. Using the cameras live view viewfinder is much more accurate imo than the ev suggestion.
