[SunChasersSG] Newbie Outing (Part 15) - Clarke Quay Sunrise 7th Aug

[dawngel]

You have to see the problems I have to overcome in the RAW file of this one...

I kept running around talking to the newbies, once in a while come back hit the remote shutter button twice (1st hit mirror up, 2nd hit shutter opens). while the camera is exposing, I run around again talking to the newbies. Never even check my settings... I think my hyperfocal distance was a littlr off, but I didn't check..

Thanks for the guidance during the session... Sorry to "keep you away from you camera" so often

Novotel HDR

Just woke up today and felt in the mood for some extreme HDR. I showed no mercy to the
image in this one. Just pure, hardcore HDR to shock the living daylights out of the purists! :bsmilie:

Good morning everyone and Have a nice day!

Another one... That spot light on the water is really irritating.

DD#7 - *edit: realized something wrong in my jpeg conversio. Redone and repost.*

Got a question here...

I saw a few seniors' photos have the clouds like this one daredevil has got...
How to get this effect?

I like the feeling the clouds give, like a feel of adrenaline...haha

If using aperture priority, is it stop down more to get a much slower shutter speed for the effect?

Sorry if this is too noobie ^^

If you like this effect, then yes... stopping down (using smaller aperture, ie bigger f number) will give you "3 in 1" benefits.

1) use of slower shutter speed to achieve same exposure (captures movement better)
2) greater depth of field
3) usually increased sharpness. Most budget lenses are at their sharpest around f/8, f/11 kind of apertures. Usually shooting them wide open (largest aperture) results in reduction to image quality.

So bummed to have missed this outing due to fever and sore eyes. Was so looking forward to it the whole week
Seems you you guys had a great time this morning! Looking forward to meeting you all next time...

was looking forward to meeting you too!

don't worry! There'll be other opportunities!

No problem la. I no longer fire the shutter in all directions. Nowadays I will do about 2-4 views per outing. A lot more selective nowadays. Training myself to focus.

Wah... I read, also confused. Haha.

In short, yes. If you close your aperture and make it smaller, you will need to take a longer exposure, thus that can be achieved.

However such LE (long exposure) shots normally take longer than 2-3 secs to achieve. For such clouds, you may need anything from 30secs or more. If you already set your aperture to smallest and still cannot expose as long as you want, then an ND (neutral density) filter will come in play. The ND filter (depending on how many stops) will "stop" the light so that you can extend your exposure.

ND8 is 3 stops (meaning x8 to timing of exposure)
ND400 is about 9 stops (meaning x400 to timing of exposure)

B+W uses a different naming convention; it's 100+ #of stops
so ND8 (Hoya) = ND103 (B+W)
ND400 (Hoya 9 stops) ~ ND110 (B+W 10 stops)

Yah... I think he even flexed his muscles for the shot
