4 pts. due March 8th. 20 long exposure images.
Long exposure photography is typically used for night photography.
If you have a camera AND a tripod, try a combination of night photos and or light painting. When shooting with a camera and a tripod, keep your ISO to 100 and make the shots longer to add light. Something must be sharp in every frame. The best time to do night photography is 20 to 40 minutes after sunset. So this week that would be 6:10-6:40 or so. The sky will be a beautiful blue at this time and the light levels are less contrasty than later.
If you are shooting with a cameraphone, you may try a light painting app. If you have an iPhone 11 or higher, it can do a credible job of hand held night photography. If not, find a way to secure your camera with a tripod homemade or store bought. Figure out what you need to do to get a sharp image in low light for your equipment.
In general, whatever you are shooting with bright lights close to the camera will become shapeless white blobs. Change the composition so that street lights are further away or not in your frame.
