Recommended shuttle speed configuration pls? The longer shuttle speed, the darker the picture is

eh..maybe can try set to 1/15 in TV mode? or use try ISO 800?

Dude, longer shutter speed, should make your picture brighter, because the shutter is open longer.

I think you go me wrong bro. Haha. Longer means, a slower shutter speed.

Try not to use 1/125, try using 1/60 or lower. This is what i mean by longer shutter speed. Keep lowering till you find something that you like. But do note, you might need a tripod! Bump up the ISO to about 800 as well.


Also, it's shutter bro, not shuttle. Haha!


Take care. Have fun!

question, do which file mode you guys usually use? personally i find saving in raw is the best?

Yes. RAW is the best quality. And you have more options in PP. 1 RAW image can do HDR already

Who took photos of the eclipse? 55m was not enough for me. So i didn't attempt.

so if i save in raw only, do i still need to bother with the exposure, picture styles, colors and saturation settings on the camera?

In any settings except AUTO, you need to set your own settings. Like in Av or TV set either your Aperture or Shutter Speed. In M mode, set both. Ev setting apply as well. White balance as well.

Anyone shot the partial eclipse?

I watched but cannot shoot. It's just so clear from my place and yet I cannot shoot because I dun have a tele lens.

FYI to all 450D users.Just sharing some info

hi dude. okay i tried asking several others on the bracketing for 450D but they quite clueless. perhaps you could help. so i have set my stops for bracketing but how do i execute the shots? just click shutter once? if in pns we just click once they will take 3 subsequent shots.

Hello dude.
Ryan G had already gave u some good explanation on it.450D basically has max of 2 stops bracketing when u do the setup in the camera.After you setup the bracketing of your choice you can do either single or continuous shoots / burst shoots.
Eg: for burst shoots just go to the menu where u select from your single shot to continuous and then when u find a good capture.just hold the shutter till 3 shots are fired continuously.
If your doing long shutter speed stops,best use a remote so you don't shake the camera while holding the shutter on your camera.Hope it helps to answer your Q.Good luck

not trying to be mean or anything, but that is hilarious. hahaha pardon my sense of humour. :embrass:

noob question: many peeps own those 50mm fixed lens at maybe say f1.4~1.8.
understand that the lower the aperture go, the deeper the depth of field?? (correct bo?)
so...what does the 50mm actually mean neh?

does it mean you can achieve the best effect with an object 5cm away from the lens??

I guess u meant by the smaller the f-stop number. The smaller the number, the shallower the DOF (Depth of Field). For the 50mm lens that most of us have, it can be used as a macro lens or for use to shoot portraits or anything that you think you want to shoot. But the lens is definitely best for low lighting scenes at f/1.8.

For whichever effects you want to achieve is dependable on what you want your photos to be.

Some terms you may want to know.

Stepping down the lens aperture = Changing from larger aperture to smaller aperture (e.g f/1.8 to f/2.2)

Stepping up = Vice versa of the above.

One important note:
The Golden Triangle Rule ( Aperture <<->> ISO <<->> Exposure )

The three elements works simultaneously. A change in either one of the element's settings will affect each other.

For example, you have a small aperture (f/8.0) and low ISO (100), you have to expose for a longer time (at least 5 to 10 secs). If not, you will see a black screen if you take a shot with a short exposure.

Please note that the above is such for explanation purposes. Settings varies from time to time.
