Tonight is a abounding moon. And whether you reside in the country or the city, it's as acceptable a time as any for this week's Shooting Challenge: You'll yield a account at night, but you'll accomplish it attending like day.
The ChallengeTake a photo at night. Accomplish it attending ablaze and colorful, like day.
The MethodGet a tripod and a chair, because you're traveling to charge to blot a lot of ablaze out of that night sky to accomplish this work, which requires a continued exposure—like a few minutes. But a abounding moon can accomplish it easier, as it can technically put out as abundant ablaze as actual dim sunlight.
The exact plan for acknowledgment can be boxy to define and may crave some fiddling...and active in a city-limits can alone abash your calculations. I'd awful acclaim account through this flickr board. It will not yield long, and it was the afflatus for this contest.
One affiliate claims "ISO 100, 1 hour @ f/8" is the key. Of course, cranking your ISO will acquiesce for a beneath exposure. And every footfall up in ISO about doubles your sensor's light-gulping abilities.
At ISO 200, that aforementioned should yield about 30 minutes. AT ISO 400, you're at 15. At ISO 800 you're down to about 7 account and at ISO 1600 you're way down in 3-minute territory. Needless to say, after-effects will vary!
But those who accept acquaintance in this address should absolutely allotment their acumen in the comments, as even our advance attempt doesn't absolutely chase these guidelines.
