Hey man, nice video, can you tell me, if it is atall possible, how i can change the Shutter Speed on a Fujifilm Finepix S1500, and i really want to take some shots like this, thanks :D

[photoblazr]

I did a quick google of that camera model, and yes you can change the shutter speed. There should be a full manual mode which will let you set shutter speed. You can also set it to 'Shutter Priority ('S')) which will let you change the shutter speed, while the camera figures out the rest of the settings. So try setting the speed to about 4 seconds as you shoot a roadway, and you should be able to get similar shots.

im using canon 500d!

thanks alot for the advice!

Ok, i took a look on the net. So you do have an Aperture mode which will let you play with the aperture value.

@Nukturnuz high ISO gives you light in the picture and you don't need that cuz you are using long exposure

[D4RK5iDERS]

@Nukturnuz images will have as little noise as possible.
