USING LONG EXPOSURES-LOW LIGHT/SUN LIGHT

Generally, 90% people shoot with higher shutter speeds in sunlight or available light....particularly, if they try in low light, they get frustrated, since the picture goes total blur....However to express creativity, longer exposures have their advantages..while clicking in low light for longer exposures, u need tripod, or a steady hand, and to try more shots, so u can come out with few fantastic ones.

2. Longer exposures are specially required in low light situations, so that more light enters the camera to make a better picture....For this u can use self timer or remote trigger to avoid shakes....If tripod is not there and u are a shaky hand, use any hard surface where u can keep the camera, or a bean bag (half kg of beans filled in a cloth bag)and make the camera steady on it...then using aperture of f5.6 achieving a little bit higher shutter speed, u can click safely...with stable subject or slight moving ones, showing some of the blur with sharpness as well, so that ur picture can show action and create interest to the viewer.

3. Use this technique with running water or waterfalls, which will show a smooth and silky blur, thus making picture outstanding...However, during sunlight, u may feel dejected to bring down the shutter speed to lower side...To overcome that, u can use neutral density filters and polarising filters as well.....the above picture was shot using a multi image filter in very low light in the evening, using self timer.
