tlc Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Here are a few of my favorites from tonight. Cooper had a big morning at obedience and was still exhausted tonight, so I took advantage... I think the torch was annoying him a bit on this one he had buried his head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I need to pull out my tripod before trying again, i tried last night and did not get anything worth posting . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 its funny once you do it a few times it does kind of get addictive and you look for more things to shoot, just for something different, it is amazing what looks good. I have really enjoyed doing the outside stuff and it is great to do it with someone else who is interested too!! Definatly use the tripod makes it a lot easier!!

I use max exposure on mine only gives me about 5 sec Do you mean you can only get your shutter to stay open for 5 seconds??? I have been just setting my camera on S (shutter priority) and letting the camera set the apeture, that way I can set it form anywhere up to 30 seconds.

Ashanali Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 You can also set your camera to Bulb mode... which can stay open as long as you want it open. 2 weeks? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulb_(photography) Bulb, abbreviated B, is a shutter speed setting on an adjustable camera that allows for time exposures under the direct control of the photographer. With this setting, the shutter simply stays open as long as the shutter release button remains depressed. An alternative setting common on film cameras is Time, abbreviated T, where the button is pressed once to open the shutter and and again to close it.[1][2] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Use 3 On digital cameras 4 References [edit] History 1898 Bausch & Lomb ad showing a shutter with B setting; the explanation displayed "bulb exposure" in quotation marks and explained it in detail, since the term was still novel.The term "bulb" is a reference to old-style pneumatically actuated shutters; squeezing an air bulb would open the shutter and releasing the bulb would close it. According to the Focal Encyclopedia of Photography[3]: "BULB EXPOSURE (B). Another term for a brief exposure—in which the shutter remains open only so long as the shutter release is held down. The word originated with the early pneumatic shutter release." It is not clear when the term actually originated. It appears that when instantaneous shutters were introduced, they included a B setting so that the familiar bulb behavior could be duplicated with a cable release. This may have been the origin of the term "bulb" in reference to shutter settings. See the photo captions. [edit] Use The bulb setting is used on some cameras, including some point-and-shoot cameras, to obtain shutter speeds slower than the maximum offered by the camera otherwise. Because of the risk of camera movement, the camera is most often mounted on a tripod for the duration of the exposure. While it's generally possible to use the shutter release button on the camera itself, a cable release or electronic remote is often used to further eliminate the risk of shaking the camera during the long exposure. The cable releases generally include a locking feature to eliminate the need to keep the button or plunger depressed during extremely long exposures. A list of picture types where the bulb setting is useful: fireworks at night the night sky and celestial objects. lightning streets at night (creating streaks from moving cars) Circa 1894 page showing a camera with an "indiarubber ball" and a "time exposure" mode that works like what came to be called "bulb". This page suggests that the "bulb" terminology had not yet been introduced by 1894. A more modern (circa 1950) camera cable release. An example of a photograph shot with a Bulb exposure. The movement of the clouds, crossing arms and passing train register as streaks rather than sharp images, unlike the stationary objects in the frame. [edit] On digital cameras On some digital cameras, bulb is a mode available as an option on the LCD menu only, if possible at all. On others, including many Digital SLR cameras, bulb is available from the manual exposure mode or shutter priority modes.[citation needed] When set to bulb, generally on the "M" or manual setting of the camera, the shutter will stay open as long as the shutter release button (or shutter release cable or remote) remains depressed. Some mid-level or bridge cameras such as the Olympus SP-560UZ have a 'limited' bulb setting, allowing time exposures up till 8 minutes and at an ISO setting of 200 ISO and lower.[citation needed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White_Shadow Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Just found the info - http://www.cnet.com.au/fujifilm-finepix-s5700-339278658.htm Shutter speeds in the Manual, Program, Aperture- and Shutter-Priority and pre-programmed shooting modes range from 1/1000 seconds to 4 seconds. There is no facility to keep the shutter open for longer than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
