Using double exposure with your cam or neither use an app (i use google snapseed) to multi expose up to as many times you want, two or more images.In this example i change the white ballance of my image from normal to tungsten lighting.
Nice tricks @user_not_found ! I use professional and expensive graduated cokin filters to achieve the same result, but this is a smart trick you can always do when you need.
Thank you dear @sonnyNg , for mentioning me here - your words inspire many of us to contribute more. @user_not_found has given a very simple âSolutionâ to avoid using, what we say âND Filtersâ - I shall request him, to explain it a little more (for Common people), when his time permits.
Simply superb⌠as rightly told by our @LucioV , we take a lot of pain to get such type of results (NDFs)⌠Here is a âSpeedy Routeâ.! (like our Google Map)âŚ!!
Thank you for sharing, such an important info; hope our @PaulPavlinovich also will see & appreciate this post - waiting for his valuable comments, tooâŚ
Friend, could you guide us with the ISO, you used / preffered, please (for outdoors?)
Really appreciate and expect more posts from you, to help us all⌠(I am really happy, dear friendâŚ).
Dear other LGs, it may look little technical in the beginning, but this is a very useful technique, when you get into Photogaphy, deeply.
Hi dear friend, @LucioV , we will hope that shortly, some âAppsâ will replace all these ⌠Sony has introduced âThis Appâ in their, few selected models (but, it is to be bought).
If you like this technique @user_not_found you might like one of my play tricks, get a sheet of clear acrylic (sometimes this is called perspex or plastiglass) and cut a 1cm hole in the centre. During your long exposure have the sheet in front of the camera and while keeping the hole over your main subject rotate the plastic. This will give you some really interesting flare and light trail effects. You can make this even more interesting by scratching the sheet or placing gel on it. Good luck with your experimenting and have fun.
On the topic of filters @user_not_found Iâve not heard of that particular brand. I use several different brands. My most common filters are by Cokin and I use the Z and P series and have literally hundreds of them.
For long exposure I use neutral density (ND) filters of various kinds from Cokin, Lee and Formatt Hitech Firecrest. I use both graduated and solid ND filters ranging from 2 up to 15 stops. The Firecrest 16 stop is an amazing bit of kit to play with. You can end up with a 15 minute exposure in bright sunlight at noon. Perfect for making humans âgo awayâ. Have you ever wondered why you see some photos of tourist magnets like the Brooklyn Bridge with no people but if you go there youâll find 1,000 people making photos and selfies. The 15 stop long exposure makes them simply vanish.
When you first start to play with and understand ND filters grab yourself some Chinese cheapies from ebay or Alibaba or you favourite. These will have yucky colour cast but will work nicely for monochrome images to start with. When youâre ready (if you like the effect) graduate to Cokin (bottom end - serious amateur) or Lee (mid range) or Formatt Hitech (serious users). Naturally the price goes up accordingly with the quality. While you can be successful if youâre careful to block all light using the 16 stop black firecrest glass on a DSLR will usually be disappointing because they leak small amounts of light and this will impact your images. I used black rubberised cloth over my Canon 5d Mk ii when using the firecrest to solve this problem. Moving to mirrorless with my Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mk ii Iâve not had to do this as it is perfectly sealed. All DSLR leak light they canât help it really because of the historic nature of mirrors and prisms to bounce light around. That bounced light path also leads to other artefacts in super long exposures. While it is true that some traditional filter effects have been replaced by software others are still needed.
