Exploring Slow Shutter Speeds
1. Explain the three types of long exposures.
Shorter exposures, which go from about 1/20th of a second to several seconds,medium exposures, which go up to about a minute, and long exposures, which can be indefinitely long.
2. How does the use of a neutral density filter change the way the photograph looks?
It blocks even more light, than what you've already tried.
3. What are the steps to shooting lightning?
Compose as though you were photographing any landscape, whether a cityscape or a natural backdrop. Set the camera up (where it isn't raining), press the button on the cable release, and wait anywhere from 5-10 minutes, depending on whether (or how much) lighting would strike. Metering for exposure times is similar to that of fireworks. The frequency of the lightning will affect the overall exposure, and there are no guidelines (other than experimentation) for how much exposure time you should allow.
4. How are star trails created?
While the technique can be relatively simple, proper setup and then proper post-processing are essential.
5. How does Reciprocity Failure change the way the film reacts to light?
Reciprocity Failure simply refers to when the film fails to produce an image that represents the light that was projected onto it.
Shorter exposures, which go from about 1/20th of a second to several seconds,medium exposures, which go up to about a minute, and long exposures, which can be indefinitely long.
