Sunset in the City 01232019. 2 second exposure.

Hi there,

Talking about the first picture, If the ideia was the trafic lights from cars, it was a good shot. If not, it's not that good. Everything else is very dark, you almost can't see details on everything else besides trafic lights.

About the 2nd photo, much, much better.

My 2 cents

Thanks for your honest critique. I agree. Here is another version with some post exposure adjustments made on my phone. Next time I may try a darker graduated ND and shoot a few minutes earlier in order to better expose the foreground.

Here is another version. I think I like this one best. The light trails are a little more defined.

This was an 8 second exposure, iso 100, F 2.8, taken with a 3 stop gradient ND filter in Northern California.

Wow! Nice

Absolutely. I use LE photography in all my hyperlapses, albeit 1/2 to 1 second exposures as opposed to 4 or 8 seconds. Here is a hyperlapse I shot right after the photo:

This is a 4 second exposure. Amazingly stable considering that winds were high enough to trigger the high wind warning lol...

Just hit Shadows in Photoshop RAW (found in Filters) to bring out a bit more detail. Although I think I like it dark. Make it look like whatever you want. It is your art.

Very nice video !!!
Thanks for sharing

Most beautiful shot. How did you manage to get the image so sharp with 8 seconds shutter? I've tried but majority of the images gets blurry.

You have inspired me to go out and try some more.

Thanks

One LE from local fireworks late last year. ISO 100, F/11 and 8 seconds.

One of my favorite pics from the M2P was this one. 5 seconds looking straight down. Iso 100 F11.

It’s a toss up for me between a lightened version versus a dark one. cool thing is that we can have both.

Very cool shot. I’m going to try this on a very colorful intersection next time out. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! When I do LE shots, I always take multiple shots using the 3 shot burst mode. usually one will come out sharp. It is also wind dependent. If I get high wind warnings, I am usually limited to 2-4 second shots as 8 may be too long to be sharp, but if conditions are calm, I have no problems getting sharp 8 second shots. Give it a try and post your results! Cheers!
