Good Vid. Thanks

[BlechRawrTitsxD]

How do you do this with a canon powershot sx40 hs?

[curtisjudd]

@BlechRawrTitsxD Have a quick look at your camera documentation to see how to get to manual mode. From there, everything in the video should work.

[sslerette33]

please, keep talking about tripods

[SCAREDBANANA]

maglites are over prized

[curtisjudd]

@Minale1 Yes, you just need to figure out how to get the Sony into manual mode where you can control the shutter speed.

to much talking

Ok got it but how do I get it to take a longer picture ?

[curtisjudd]

@123pivot456 I'm not familiar with your particular camera but usually there is a dial or control to change your shutter speed. When you first go to manual mode, it will probably show a shutter speed of 1000, 500, 250, 125, 60, 30, or something near there. Change that until you get it down to 1 then keep going and you will be in the range where you can set it so that shutter stays open for several seconds. I'd shoot for at least 10 seconds. This is assuming that your camera allows this.

[123pivot456]

How do I do this with the Fuji film s1800. ?

[curtisjudd]

@123pivot456 Turn the dial to M mode (which stands for Manual) and then you should be able to set your shutter speed and aperture. Then you're all set!

[vikon170]

can we do this with any basic digital camera.... for eg Digital IXUS 1000 HS

[curtisjudd]

@vikon170 Yes, any camera that you can mount on a tripod and control manually--that is where you set the shutter speed and aperture.

Great information! My wife is an aspiring photographer, I'll definitely share this video with her. I love your videos! ~JustinEvans

[SparkieWaller2009]

I didn't hear the ISO setting?

[curtisjudd]

@SparkieWaller2009 I usually stick with ISO 200 on my camera which is its base ISO. Higher ISOs will typically result in more digital noise.

[batocs101]

but my camera is sony! how can i do it?

[curtisjudd]

@batocs101 Nothing different on a Sony--just need to figure out how to get your camera to do long exposures.

[formis1122]

SHUT UP!!! MY GOSH

[tuffcrowzer]

Curtis, You have the best tutorials! It's real nice to hear from a passionate photographer. Keep doing your thing!

[jayneym]

great video. very informative! and you sounded great :)

[curtisjudd]

Bsutsos--Absolutely! All of this works just as well for film. Since you can't tell right away what you get, make sure to take notes on what you do for each shot and you'll be all set.

[x1MissWorld1x]

thanks for the tutorial... very clear and informative. :)

[Bsutsos]

[curtisjudd]

[arandomthot5]

This is great, glad we are not alone on this light painting arena, it would be great to make an international online light painting website, just for light painting photographers:-) cheers,Cat
