What camera settings would I use to get a blurred effect with a mavic pro..
I guess that’s what it’s called..
I will be shooting my towns lights at night and want different effect

If you are wanting moving lights to show as streaks, you need a slow enough shutter speed to allow the light to move while the shutter is open.
Slower shutter speed = longer streaks.
If you are shooting at night, you will already be using a slow shutter speed.

Thanks Meta4,
I will try this tomorrow night.
Would it enhance the effect if moving?
What about sport mode?

 

[JohnnyD913]

I went out tonight and tried the settings.
I could see the streaks of light and got the desired effect.
I snapped of a good many pics, maybe 20.
Came back and went to take a look and I have no pics in album or anywhere..
WTH..

If it's a Mavic Pro (or Platinum), there are no manual settings to slow your shutter enough for this.
You will usually need a really high spec ND filter, at least an ND64, but better even higher.

I guess you got what you liked, but it'll be interesting to see your photos when you get them uploaded.

If you search here for > photo blurred lights < and similar terms, you will find quite a few threads, posts with photos.

Here's the result from the above search, pick through those, there are even ones asking specially about car lights . . .

Long exposure techniques for vehicle brake light trails etc

THere's an old rural bridge near my home with classic globe street lights. Its a vehicle bridge. I'd like to hover above and get brake light trails passing over the bridge. Should be easy after dark, and I do have ND filters. Planning a very basic shot from above. But I'm concerned about...

This doesn't sound right at all.
The camera will shoot as slow as 8 seconds which is quite likely more than enough.
You might use a heavy ND filter to shot long exposures of a waterfall in bright daylight.
But you definitely would not want to use the filter at night for light trails.

I don't do much night shooting to have good examples but this is similar enough for illustration.

In this accidental shot, the blur was mostly caused by camera movement but the cars in the lower right are also moving,
The exposure was 1/2 sec at F4 and 150 ISO with no filter at all
An ND64 filter would cut 98% of the light.

Aperture and shutter are fixed.
All you can do is leave iso at 100 or 200 and test.
I’ve not found a way to set a time reliably.

The shutter is variable from 8 sec to 1/8000th

Cool don't take pics much, will have to play with that.
I did use an ND64 to try and get some water motion / blur, but it sort of half worked.

If you try too long it's just overexposed, that's the issue, at least with day time.

Some software will allow these effects to be produced, can't remember the actual name but I think it was produced by ProDAD, check their site.
