It is a very rare thing indeed when someone teaches you what they say they're going to teach you; nothing more nothing less. It is greatly appreciated 🙏 you have a follower for life.
The best free tutorial I had
10-Stop ND Filter is equal to 2^10 which is 1024 (Binary)...Using your numbers; (1024)*(1/10 Sec)=102.4 Seconds ~1.71 minute...Without using PhotoPills
Hurrah for Extended Shutter Release (M-Mode)...
Great Vid....
One important thing to note about pretty much every 10 stop ND out there is that you're going to end up introducing a color cast (I've used quite a few different brands and every one has it's own slight color cast -- none are truly neutral and some are outright awful so do your research before buying), so keep in mind that there will usually be a little more color correction in post to get accurate to scene color.
Great advice regarding the need to include a contrasting element in the water as well as the recommendation about the direction of cloud movements. Great video, quick and too the point.
This was again a great vid Mike.
And also a very great shot
Great tips as always Mike ! Thank you for sharing . 😀
Nicely explained and a beautiful landscape capture!
Very cool exposure! Well explained video. Thanks!
Thank you very much. Very detailed information which is going to be a big help to myself and others. Thank you.
Great tips and video Mike. I love the way that 10st "glasses out" the water. A really cool look.
Great Video. Its hard to find information like this, most of the time is just product reviews, but never actually teach you anything well done sir. 😀
Great information looking forward to trying with new K&F magnetic filters
Great tip for calculating the 10-stop time, thank you. I do have Photopills but sometimes forget to use it! I looked up my manual and my Canon R5 has an inbuilt bulb timer too. Have just ordered a another 10 stop from Breakthrough Photography as my new lens is a different size - wished I had known about the adjustment rings and bought 82mm in the first place to use on my 77mm lenses (would have saved a few $$)
Wow that shot!!! 😍
Very helpful and to the point. Thanks.
really helpful video and not a long drawn out explanation. Cheers mate 👌
Love it for the Beauty it Produces.
Excellent Mike!! Love the shot!!
Thanks Barry!
Another top drawer episode !! All bang on tips Mike !!
👏👏👏
Thanks buddy!
It’s a year since you helped me with this on my Nikon Z7 II and worked well. I’ve recently sold all Nikon and now using Fujifilm X-T5. It’s taken longer than I expected to get used to it. I literally forgot all about my PhotoPills app ~ just now thinking of ND use do thank you again ….
Great video, thank you.
Loved the tip on the shutter speed dial being one third of a stop, didn't know that! Great video!
Check your manual. Most? cameras are factory set to 1/2 stop intervals. If your model allows, you can change it to 1/3 stops.
I was searching for landscape photography videos and Boom!!!! Here I am.I’ve watched 10 videos and please keep them coming Since I can’t go out and shoot do to the weather being way to cold for me. Lol
I am not a landscape or Nikon shooter but always watches your channel. Fuji camera's also as that 15 minutes timer also. God bless
Thanks Kevin and that’s great to know! We appreciate you watching. 🙏🏼
Great video. I'd say though that most modern-day cameras have the ability to go longer than 30 secs. All the Canon R series I've used (RP, R, and R6) have had a built-in intervalometer, as well as a bulb timer. Infact my R6 can go for 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.
Nice video.Now I got clear idea how to make use of photopills fo calculating the shutter speed for ND filter. Thank you.
excellent video, thank you
Hey man! very good one! great content as always!
Thank you!!
Sweet! Short and simple. 👍 🥂
Thanks buddy!
wow
that's a AMAZING photo
👌✌👍
Dear Sir,
Thank You Once Again.
Beautiful shot!
Thank you!
Nice and clear, with the detail about how to calculate the shutter speed by multiplicating the normal shutter speed by the ND value ( f.e. 1000) to get the value with the filter on.
Dear Sir,
Wonderful.
Thanks for the great tutorial !
What would be the workflow if also have to do focus stacking with long exposure ?
Great tips! Your pic looked amazing. I just downloaded that app- looks very helpful. I usually just use my histogram on the camera to adjust but with the long shutter time I realize that might not be as practical or as accurate. Do I have to tell the app it is a APS-C camera? I only have a 6-stop B+W filter. Will it still look good? I heard 6 stops is generally more practical than 10 stops. I also just read a book and he said you can get motion of the sky using the filter so not just water.
Hello again Mike. Good video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Hello to miss c. Amnon from NYC.
Awesome vlog buddy! I love these shorter tutorial style videos mixed in. Lovely b-roll as well and the shots obviously lol 😂
Thank you man! I appreciate that!
Excellent.
Nice video!
Do you have one that explains the lens you use and your favorite focal length for landscape?
Thank you
All good tips Mike and envy you having the greater than 30s ability. One thing I would add though is if you are going to use a CPL as well as an ND ideally put it on first before you set your base shooting parameters. You can add it after along with the ND but you have to estimate how many stops the CPL on it's own reduces the light by. All the best from your UK followers!
Thanks Steve!
Excellent Vid
Nice simple instructions and photography. What focal length was your last long exposure?
Not forgetting to turn off Image Stabilisation on lens. . I didn't think about wind direction. I've been having some equipment movement issues during exposures with longer focal lengths so I've been searching for tips. . Thanks. . Beautiful pictures.
Great video! I've always wanted to know how you produce long exposure photos using ND filters. The 10 stop ND filter looks very straight forward. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks for watching Scott!! We hope you’re doing well!
@@PereaPhotography I've been doing well for the most part. I'm actually feeling under the weather this week, but I should be feeling better in the coming days!
As others have said, many - or most - modern mirrorless cameras have a built in timer in bulb mode so you can set longer than 30 second shutter times with ease and use the built in shutter timer to eliminate shake when you use the shutter button. I can say for sure that the Canon R5 has this feature. Works great.
Hey Mike, Great video on the ten stop filter. Would you recommend variable filters for stills? There’s a great magnetic system I looking to buy, but there all variables.
Great video. I love to do Long Exposure Photography.
Thanks Linda!
I use the Lee filter app. So easy to use.
Super , Dziekuje.
Thanks for creating such and amazing and informative video Mike! Canyon Lake is such an amazing spot, isn't it?
It’s a beautiful lake!!
Awesome video and tips. Btw the fujifilm xt2 from 2016 has up to 15min shutter time.
Thanks :)
No hablo mucho inglés, pero tus vídeos me encanta y son muy instructivos. ¿es tan buena la Z7 II? Será mi próxima cámara y cada vez estoy más seguro de comprármela. Aprendo mucho con tus vídeos y me encantan tus fotos.
Saludos desde Andalucía.
Hey Mike, just FYI, the Fuji X and GFX cameras have had selectable shutter speeds up to 1 hour for many years now, long before Nikon put it into their Z cameras ;)
Unfortunately not all Z cameras. My Z5 has 30 seconds max. only. The ways of camera companies sometimes are hard to understand.
Sony Bulb mode can be started and stopped using touchless shutter app
Nice video. I liked the tip about cloud movement direction. BTW my 5 yr old Fuji will let you pick an hour for the shutter speed in a non bulb mode.:)
Oh nice!!
Muito bom!
Nice video Mike! Also to add to EJ’s comment, other camera companies have program modes so you don’t need a remote. My Canon EOS R in Bulb mode also has a programable timer you can set to leave the shutter open as long as you need. Just an FYI. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!! Appreciate the insight!!
Fujifilm cameras also allow for longer shutter speeds. I have it in my X-T30, which has been out for a couple of years.
This 👍🏼👍🏼
My Canon 5Ds have an internal timer for long exposures. There are actually a few models out there with the feature.
My first thought was, what if you've got one of the many species of birds in the water? So many locations has this element in it, thus the question! New subscriber, as I liked how you stuck to the topic, reminded me to look for Photopills, which I have...and I haven't done any long exposure for quite some time, so looking for some pointers. So far I just have a circular polarizer, so I'll give that a try, and perhaps upgrade if needed!
Great video. BTW, the Pentax K1 also has a 30 min timer in bulb mode.
That’s good to know!
Never thought about the cloud directions 🤓
The view at 15 seconds is Neist Point here on the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Highlands…..my home. Just thought I’d have a wee brag…I don’t often get to!
It’s such an awesome place!
instead of using an external release, can you use the camera's self timer to trigger the shutter? wonderful vid. thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.
Yes absolutely!!! You can do this up until the limit on your shutter speed, which is 30” in most cameras. Anything longer, and you’ll have to use bulb mode. Depending on your camera, you’ll have to hold down the shutter in bulb mode, or hit the shutter once to start the exposure, and hit it again to stop it. This is why most people either use a release of some kind, or even use an app when they have to do really long exposures.
Not bad, Couple of things you might want to add. 1= A Shutter Release, wether it be cabled or wireless with a introvolometer(if I spelled that correctly) built into it. I have Vello Shutterboss 2. I think they are up to version 4 by now & at half the price I paid. You can use your camera in Bulb Mode with a 2 second delay timer in conjuntion with a 2 second exposure delay timer and just time it out. You will have to time it out anyway if you get a Shutter Release without a timer mode built into it. Most modern Dslr/Mslr cameras you can adjust from 1/3 to 1/2 to 1 stop of exposure in the menu system & only turn the shutter 10 clicks. I thought one of the big benefits of going mirrorless was you can see your exposure in the EVF=, even with a 10 ND Filter on? I do agree about focusing before putting the filter on unless the view in the EVF is very clear. A DSLR you would probably need to focus before attaching the ND filter. I seen some people turn their ISO way up so the camera can see & focus & return back to the desired low ISO setting after obtaining focus. Just trying to help. Happy shooting. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Ted!! Yeah I tried to keep it simple/basic, but there are a lot of nuances between cameras and settings available. Thanks for watching!
Tatooine. Is that a place in AZ? Need to shoot it! LOL! Love your your tips and videos. Thanks, from Prescott AZ.
Haha my favorite National park! Cheers buddy!
Question:
A) I use Bulb mode on my long exposures on my Canon R5. Should I not be using this, because my R5 compensates for the filter being on when focusing, etc, and shows the image as though it was in normal shooting mode; the EVF is not black. I get my final time determined by shooting multiple shots at differing stutter lengths, and choose the best one when I'm done. Obviously, this can force exposure lengths that give results I don't want (moving water that's too smooth, etc). I've found that calculating exposure times can be more problematic, but it may be because I'm not doing it correctly (usually done with an exposure calculating app). I haven't bought the PhotoPills app...
Why not just use the internal meter, on my canon, I center the needle using the shutter speed wheel? I have played with this, seems to work at the same location at Canyon Lake. Thanks, cheers -- Dan.
Nikon D780 was the first with extendable shutter up to 900 seconds ❤🔥💥🔥
I miss your videos, I hope you guys are doing well.
Just curious, when your doing a long exposure with the Z7II like 45 seconds or 2 minutes, etc. does the camera give you any indication it's doing anything, like a countdown timer that tells you how long you have to go? Thanks!
Hey Edward! No unfortunately there isn’t any countdown timer. The only indication is the blinking green led light on the back of the camera.
@@PereaPhotography Someone said on Fred Miranda Forums today that with the extended shutter speeds there is a countdown timer on the top LCD? I used to have the camera, I just can't remember ever seeing that... It's easy enough to miss if it's there, I usually never look at the top lcd. 🙂 Thanks!
Great video as always. Now, how about a follow up on "how to convince the home boss that the Kase filters are a worthy investment"!! Not to mention the Z7ii!!
Haha it’s better to ask for forgiveness, than to ask for permission…ok maybe not the smartest advice. I should probably stick to photography 🤣
I would go for Mikes advice lol 😂 are you living in the States Greg?
@@tompetersphotography the home boss thinks I'm in a delusional state, but I am being allowed to remain in Arizona, for now. 😂
@@gregjepsen7155 hahaha
Nice tutorial and explained well. Beautiful pic at the end. Cheers 🍻 👍🙏
Thank you Adrian!
is it possible to choose the shutter speed if you wanted to shoot longer? Obviously Photopills tells you to make the shutter speed x but if you wanted more time to make the cloud blurry I could not achieve this today. Any tips? Cheers
reduce the ISO, close your aperture, use a stronger ND filter and adjust shutter accordingly. I dont use an app, but its all the same... if you want the app to calculate a longer shutter speed you need to reduce the amount of light entering the camera (smaller aperture or stronger ND) or reduce the cameras sensitivity to light (reduce ISO)
Canon r5/6 allows specifiying number of seconds in bulb mode
The one thing i'm struggling with is how to change my f6.5 to f8 so i can get my perfect long exposure photos
What tripod are you using here? It looks like a really good one
Its the 48CXL. There's a link to my gear in the description and thank you for watching!
@@PereaPhotography thank you so much
Do you recommend a certain brand 10 stop ND filter?
I use Kase filters and love them. I have the circular magnetic set called Wolverine, that I love. I don’t use Grad filters so they are perfect and light. I have an Amazon link to them with 10% off in the description of this video too if you’re interested!
@@PereaPhotography sure that would be great! The clouds look nice today and I wish I had a filter to try out
Planning on a hike tomorrow and if possible, long exposure with my Z7 II. I’m a bit dumb on the point you made that Z7 II is able to be programmed into much longer exposure instead of bulb + cable release. In you case above 1 min 42 sec using PhotoPills (which I already have) but can’t understand how to achieve this ‘in camera’
Please can you advise 🤔
Yes if you go into the z7ii menu, you have to enable “Extended Shutter Speeds.” It’s in the shooting/display settings.
@@PereaPhotography found it and turned it on but then cannot see any difference ~ maybe this could be included in a Z7 tutorial?
I’ll make do with cable release meantime. Thank you for your speedy reply 👍
@@jamesss1953 once you turn it on, you have to be in manual mode. Now you should be able to go over 30” on your shutter speed
@@PereaPhotography ahhhh; got it. Presumably you then round up or down the exposure time from PhotoPills
Thank you so much for taking the time to help. Now looking forwards to tomorrow and see where I can Focus Stack & long time exposure photos. Also, I’ve not tended to use the PhotoPils app much as I’ve used the NISI app for a exposure timings. A change now me thinks 👍
My D780 also has extended shutter speed
Great stuff Mike, but can't believe your talking about Long Exposure during a pandemic ...🤣👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would seem that the histogram would also reflect the equivalent once the ND filter is on... or no?
It depends on the camera. My Nikon z7ii, yes it does ok, but still seems to under expose a little bit when I get to the really long shutter speeds. For my d850, once you reached the 30” limit and switched to bulb mode or timer, the histogram was entirely inaccurate, and didn’t move with the changing of settings. So I’d say to give it a try, but in my experience it’s much more accurate to calculate it when the shutter speed is more than 30”. I’m not sure why that is.
@@PereaPhotography now I'm going check and see how low the S5 can go... limbo anyone?
@@TimotheosEnterprisesMedia haha do it!!!!
@@PereaPhotography my lowest iso is 100... my slowest shutter speed in manual mode is 1 minute then bulb..... grrrr... I have not checked my other setting such as S&Q... etc... now to download the app you mentioned and get down what you demonstrated.... keep making videos...
What is your best or favorite sense to use?
Lense?
I absolutely love my 14-30 f/4.
Hi! Just to let Canon users know that in Bulb mode there is no need for shutter release cable or any other remote. 6D mk2, 5D mk4, and all mirrorless have bulb timer in menu. In order not to shake your camera on start of exposure set your timer to 2 seconds delay or 10 seconds delay.
Olympus m4/3rds cameras have this setting too, they also have a "live time" setting where you can watch the exposure as its happening and stop it anytime you want , this is also useful for long exposures at night.
I would do one extra thing; switch off the IBIS while on tripod
Fuji has been able to go beyond 30" shutter speeds for a while now
On Fujifilm cameras you can set the camera up to an hour without cable release.So your camera is not the first and also not the only one.
On my camera, when I put on the ND filter, I bring down the shutter speed until it shows up the same as before the ND filter on my LCD! No need to do any math!
Great video btw... lovely photography...but...Isn't doing all those calculations for the exposure a bit unnecessary... people, like myself included, would only do this with older film cameras like medium format, however, modern dslr and mirrorless cameras have very accurate light meters and live histograms and a screen to be able to see what the result will be after it has been exposed.... I don't understand why people need to do these calculations... it's a complete waste of time 🤷♂️ 3:58
It seems everyone is doing this now. Doesn’t it become too much of the same as all the other water pics?
WhatsApp the name of the app you was u-sving?
Canon cameras have this feature. It's called "Bulb Timer" in the menu.
Nope to much maths for me. I quit. Dyslexia is just making this to fistrating. Still cant ubderstabd it two years on..
Thats all way to complicated..why not put filter on first...then adjust shutter speed untill your exposure is in the middle.. and there will be your shutter speed
Hey Mike, what a great video. Lots of really handy info and tips in this one. Really well done buddy.
Thank you so much Richard!!
