Im doing something wrong...Id adjted the shutter speed down the levels indidcated, but I always get over exposed photos due to this - Even trying to manually adjust exposure settings...light conditions are not like extreamly bright...getting the problem even on cloudy days

@hermesmata First make sure the ISO is at the lowest number (usually 100). Secondly, make sure you're in shutter priority, so that the camera can choose an aperture (f-number) to match. Then if the shot is still over-exposed for the desired shutter speed, then the subject is simply too bright. Try again when it's dimmer, or use a filter like a polariser or neutral density to reduce the incoming light.

@cameralabs hey camera labs !!! whenever i put to Shutter mode / Tv mode on my EOS 7d .. when i wana put it to low iso .. the aperture will blink blink and ask me to put higher ... what do i do ? happens when its in the evening ..... or whenever

[cameralabs]

@nightubble if the ISO is at the lowest number and the aperture is at its biggest number, and the aperture is STILL flashing, then there's still too much light coming in. Try a quicker shutter speed or use a neutral density filter or polariser to reduce the light. Or try again when it's darker!

hello my friend. im looking long time for this effect...i have a Panasonic DMC-FZ100 [Digital compact]..did you know if i can do the same effect with it? i have it not longer than one month.

[cameralabs]

@elarebillelarebill Yep, you can achieve this effect with any camera that has a shutter priority mode.

@cameralabs Yup, ISO at 100, Ill try using filters, thank you for your reply!

this is clearly not working in very sunny weather even with ISO 100. Unless you buy filters.
