Maaaaan. The trick of Set your exposure, Then place the filter and then calculate +10 stops or use the app.!!! AMAZING! I Struggled a lot with this B shots.
this tutorial right here was probably the most useful I could find, as a beginner who just let his smartphone behind and started with a bigger camera. (OM-D E-M 10 Mk III) Most "tutorials" I found were all about "Buy this particular product" or "throw your money at that specific brand". Your tutorial was like, "remind the rule of thirds and use the basics to figure out your settings to get a similar result as in this image". And maybe use this free app, if you don't want to make the math in your head.
I don’t know how many times I have come back to your video, either as reference material or just to enjoy how your explanation of taking a photo comes across as so easy to understand, so I am left with “ so that is how you do it” you certainly have a talent for communication. Cheers Gary
Thank you for this I have a Nikon d3300 and just tried the bulb setting and have a time setting as well will have to try it on a dark clear sky excellent vlog
Always enjoy your videos Gary, even the basic stuff like this - it does none of us any harm to go back to basics. But here's a useful tip that I saw a vlogger do years ago that you haven't done: attach a velcro strip to one leg of your tripod and the other piece of it to your intervalometer. That stops the intervalometer from dangling down and swinging about in the breeze, and you don't need to stand there holding it during really long exposures. Just remember to use the two second timer when taking the shot.
Very informative video Gary. I may be missing something here but you had your histogram virtually to the right, and then doubled the exposure that was recommended? A number of photographers under expose on purpose and use post processing to get the details back. Aren’t you going in the complete opposite direction? And why?
Hi Gary I'm a newbie on your Tatorials, love photography. Just starting out. Got my new camera ect. Don't really know where to start🤔 but I'm so excited to give it ago. Got know idea about lens. But thankyou for your help and tips best wishes Janie👍
Love these videos...although I've been in photography for a ( ahem ) 'few years' ( like 57 lol ) you ALWAYS tend to forget 'something'...so seeing these is a great way to refresh your memory...and trigger a few ideas as well. Many thanks :-)
Very good! I often use multiple exposure with a Lee filter to extend the exposure time beyond 30 seconds. I set up for the normal exposure with the filter then run 3 shots on multi. The camera blends all 3 (or however many are chosen) images into one. It's not a way of increasing exposure time versus that calculated by the light meter, but it does allow the extra milkiness with water because effectively the scene is exposed three times at whatever exposure is set thereby multiplying the exposure duration at metered setting by 3.
Nice vlog Gary. There is always a place for a step-by-step tutorial such as this one with so many people picking up cameras for the first time. Photography is not an easy craft for a beginner but explanations like this makes the learning more interesting. When I started photography five years ago I started learning from books which is alright but videos such as this feels like you are giving people a one-to-one workshop and is far more informative. You are becoming my favourite vlogger.
Thanks a lot Gary, great video as always. Don't forget guys, if you're not using a mirror less camera. You should cover the view finder to stop light leaks. They can ruin a great image just as much as a sun flair would.
Awesome as always Gary, I bought a Zomei 10 stop after last years video, but just changed it for a Hoya Pro ND, I have been out a few times with it and the images are getting better, mistake I made was I was shooting in AP. Thanks again.
Recently discovered your channel and I’m very glad I did. Great stuff on it and very interesting. The end photo here was stunning. I’ve never heard of B mode and I’m clueless about filters. I’ve lots to learn.
Excellent overview of the key success factors in a long exposure photo. I'm not totally new to this kind of photography, but still appreciated the quick and clear coverage of the histogram, a tool that I have neglected. Gary, one question: you mention that in Bulb mode on your Canon 5D3, you must use an intervalometer to end the exposure. With my Canon 5D4 Bulb mode you can specify exactly how long you want it and the camera closes the shutter at the end point. Perhaps that is an upgrade from the 5D3?
@@stephengibbons Right, I noticed towards the end that he was using a Mark II, but I believe he mentioned earlier in the video that he also has a Mark III.
Great Vlog Gary, to explain how to capture a long exposure. Been doing photography for many years but I still love looking at vlogs that go back to basics just to see if I've forgotten something. We can all learn more
Another excellent video Gary, thank you very much. I did a double take when you recovered Bulb mode at 17 minutes odd having done so at 15 minutes but I see that it flowed better leaving the second mention in and it is sucha rare item it doesn't hurt having it twice.
I must agree with Nigel King, you are moving along nicely with the uncertain times we are in, no whats in my bag or have you seen these filters round or square yet lol if you no what i mean. so good on you to still want to teach the basics of camera work, well done and I liked the b&w by the way.
Great video - really well explained for a someone not used to doing long exposures but looking to try. Thank you Gary. I loved the colour image but the B&W works as well.
Absolutely spot on Gary, top man on here for explaining things, I just wish some of the other RUclipsrs would take a note from your presentations, Thank You...
Great vlog Gary and very useful. I have to be honest mate and tell you that are only one a few photographers that I follow that have maintained forward momentum during these difficult Covid-19 times, so well done. Keeping it interesting and focused with superb and very clear delivery. Keep well and stay safe, cheers.
Gary - just to say thanks for the heads up on 10 stopper ND filters... I'm off to St Michael's Mount this weekend, so for autumn light, gonna give it a try! Appreciate the work you put into these vlogs!
Hi Gary great video. Thanks for sharing. I would be interested in how you do the post processing at the same level of detail , you referred to more info on the more detailed editing but I didn't find where it was..... Could you help me and point me to the vlog on the editting ? Thanks Mike
Great video not just for beginners we all need a refresher now and again, 👍👍 We had a pod of about 50 swim past Saltburn pier start of the week (bit of a flap getting my camera setup.🤷♂️) but got a few good shots.
Thanks Gary, really good video. I can now see that this type of photography is just not for me. Too much faffing around for an image. I just do not have the patience for the detail required. 😅 many thanks.
Great video as usual. I am not a beginner in landscape photography or long exposure, but it is always a pleasure to listen to you and appreciate your art. Thank you.
Great and very informative video, went to spurn point last week. What a Pandoras box it is of stuff to shoot. A brilliant place, you could go there over and over and there would still be something new to shoot. Thanks
Great tutorial, Gary. I hear the cheaper ND filters can create a colour cast but it can be removed in post-processing. Will invest in some cheap ones to try out the technique 👍
Great video Gary. Maybe worth adding a tip to cover the view finder during longer exposures to avoid light ingress ruining the image. If you mentioned it and I missed it - apologies.
I should have mentioned it you're right. I rarely cover my eyepeice unless I'm shooting 4-minute or longer exposures. That's why I didn't mention it. Thanks xx
Gary, its such a pleasure to watch your videos because you make it so simple to understand things. Well done indeed, it takes an effort to make such incredible content. Thank you!
I've been watching your videos for a while now and although they have all helpful as a real beginner this is the most useful. Thanks Gary. I'm just waiting to be allowed to go more than 5km from home to try some of this stuff out. Keep it going please.
Nice vlog Gary - easy to understand. I've just started getting into long exposure photography and did exactly what you suggested which was to start with some cheap entry level ND filters. They work just fine and the results are better than I expected.
same here...... bought a new camera, a new lens (for wildlife).... had to cut corners somewhere and bought cheap ND filters and shoot from an ancient, but very sturdy and heavy, tripod. Happy with the results thus far
Great video, thank you! As a newby I have a question: why can’t I put on the 10stop filter and set my camera in aperture preset mode (if shutterspeed is less than 30 seconds)?
I am really enjoying your tutorials Gary. Any chance you could do one on night time scenes (car light trails, night streets etc)? Keep up the excellent work mate!
Thank you for the in-depth tutorial, Gary. One thing I never understood was why didn't you use the lowest ISO setting which was L(50)? Why always stop at 100? My Canon 6D has that setting too, but I have never seen any of the photographers of your calibre use it, or recommend using it. Just wanted to know why that setting is even there. If you have a tutorial on that, do point me in the right direction. Thanks again.
Great video Gary. One thing you didn't mention, or do, is blank the eyepiece for the exposure. Does it not matter or does live view preclude the need for that little rubber widget on the camera strap?
Hello Gary, a great video tutorial with excellent information on how to achieve long exposure photographs. The shots at the end are great. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe in these mixed up times. 😷

2 tips I would add, Gary. remove any camera straps when on a tripod, and cover the eyepiece when taking long exposures
Very nice Garry.
Love your fine art images.
As usual Gary great video...don't understand why people tick the dislike button... when your trying to educate them...

I bought that cheap 10 stop ND you recommended last year. It works great and the slight colour cast is easily corrected.
Thanks a lot Gary, great video as always.
Don't forget guys, if you're not using a mirror less camera. You should cover the view finder to stop light leaks. They can ruin a great image just as much as a sun flair would.
Thanks Gary been struggling with filters and focus , will definitely try this out and slow down .
Thank you Gary. You explain everything simply which as a beginner is great. Cheers.
