Combining Artificial Lights and an Evening Sky: A Lighting Lesson

Why ISO 125?

ISO 125 is a "digital" ISO and exhibits about the same amount of noise as ISO 800 (on the 7D). You could've gone 1/3 stop lower or higher and gotten much better noise control.

@fostersnellphoto The iso 125 was a miss print. I shot at 160 ISO. Sorry that created some confusion. Your right about the noise exhibited by 125 being a digital ISO and not a native one. 160 is a native ISO and has the noise control that I talked about in the video. Thanks

What lenses do you primarily use?

[TheSlantedLens]

@bluebob951 We are using all Tamron lenses on our 7D.

More details on post would be nice. But nice info I still left me with a lot of questions though.

[TheSlantedLens]

@citizensauto What are the questions?

[AtlantaTerry]

How much did it cost (1) to close the ramp (2) for police services?

Nice work.

[TheSlantedLens]

@AtlantaTerry The Street closure including police and permits cost us about 3800.00 dollars. Not cheep.

Using AV mode? Why not go manual?

You will risk exposure changes as you add more lights.

Seems very unlikely...

@HollaenderDK Two separate exposures, background and truck, are composited together..... no worries.

[TheSlantedLens]

@HollaenderDK I use AV mode because I want my aperture to remain the same. I know that the sky is going to get darker and darker and I allow the automatic feature of the camera to track it once I have set my exposure. It allows me to shoot more than one camera at a time. Its a simple way to shoot and it works. I use Manual most of the time but not in this case.

Why ISO 125 not 100?

[TheSlantedLens]

@kwanbkk The iso 125 was a miss print. I shot at 160 ISO. Sorry that created some confusion. 160 is a native ISO and has the noise control that I talked about in the video. Thanks

Maybe someday you could go a little more into the post process.

@slewis My wife hates talking about her work. I keep trying to convince her to do so. Its not easy. I mean convincing her, not being married.
