Aiyo. Are we psychic? Think we all have a mental connection to a magical light meter at Orchard?
Do you even know the basics of photography? You are aware that there are 6 correct exposures for every picture, right?
Ans:
I am very phai ser...to ask stupid questions!.
I am very sorry, I am so empty and blind about photography.
You need to consider the following, THEN GO TRY FOR YOURSELF:
1. How much depth of field do you want? This will affect f-stop, shutter speed and possibly ISO.
Ans: I want deep deep DOF, i dont want shallow DOF because I need the background in perfectly focus. But if I have big number of f-stop, my shutter speed will slow and this will cause my subject to blurrr, because i think nobody will stand for 10sec without minor movement. if we increase the ISO it will not help much in increasing the shutter.
2. How much of the lighting will be filling your frame? How much sky? How much of the buildings? How many cars will be there, their lights adding to the illumination? What time of day? Evening or night?
Ans: Bro ??....is there any different in taking a photo in evening & night?
Which one got more sky evening or night?
At least when I go shooting, it will be a very good references or guideline for me.
That's the hard part... There are FAR too many variables! It's almost impossible to give a "guideline".
You could always just do what Ortega suggests... Set to night/twilight photography, let the cam take the shot. Then you have the base value.
Or set to aperture priority, set to f/8 or f/11, fix ISO at 400 or 800, then half-press. Let your cam meter the scene and you'll know what the suggested shutter speed for that particular scene is.
What is the best specifications that we can use to shoot a subject with Christmas Light Up in Orhcard Rd as background
f-stop = f5.6
shutter = 1/60
ISO = 25,600
Focal Length = any
Any accessories = D3 :devil:
:devil:
actually if you have access to lots of SB800s then you can light up the whole scene and shoot at 1/60s @ f11
bro...what is SB800s ???
