I've been a photographer for a few years already, but I'm always willing to listen to others. Your videos are very well presented. You have that great way of explaining that seems very clear and pleasing. You can tell you have such a personable personality. Your photos are superb so it just makes your videos so even more credible. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent!
Thank you, Attilio. You are a pure gentleman for sharing your knowledge. Over the few months I've been following you, I've learned so much and appreciate the time and effort you put into these tutorials. It is totally beyond me how anyone can give a thumbs down to such an informative video. Oh, well. You can't please everyone. Please keep the video's coming.
Attillio Ruffo, You are a very good teacher, yet you are very humble and the best of all you don't ramble. Thank you again and you are the best in this category of videos.
I watch your videos regularly. So last night I was watching your long exposure tutorial and drifted off to sleep. I dreamt I was in this most beautiful place I've ever seen and you were teaching us, a small group, how to take long exposure photographs!! I was quite sad when I woke up to realize it was just a dream!! :) Thanks for all the great tutorials!
Great bit of advice to adapt shutter speed at sunrise and sunset while using ND filters. Seems obvious in hindsight but I hadn’t thought about it myself.
Its been few days that I follow your channel and your videos. I have watched so many other ones from others and for some reason, yours, i always find them very interesting and informative. Ive learned so much from you. You are so great and fun to watch and listen to your knowledge. Thanks a bunch for sharing sir.
"Grande" Attilio last time i got in contact with you was about this issue and you told me you were going to make this tutorial so i went shopping and bought a Big Stoper and a 81B W 9ND G S both from Lee filters so now that i have seen the tutorial i guess i got the right ones, i am traveling to the coast in a couple of weeks and obviously i will take my gear, thanks again my friend for all your helping.
I am so passionate about LS seascapes! Been watching your videos past couple days studying LS techniques & I came across your chanel. I appreciate your sincerity and craft. Mahalo!
Attilio, another superb video, what I really like about your videos, is the high quality, the calm and friendly manner you present. Your photographs are simply superb, I’m learning as well as enjoying your videos. Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos, look forward to the next one. Cheers 👍😁
Attilio, I have now watched many of your tutorials and have to say I love your teaching style and enthusiasm, your photographs are spectacular, and the information is so relevant and practical. Thank you!
I like the way you talk in your videos, calm, good pronunciation and very good tone. You know that some of us are not english native. I am brazilian for example and I can understand all your words. Thanks for this great job.
...and HERE.... in THIS Video ..i REALLY DO have the Feeling... that your are absolutley authentic bout what YOU are trying to tell and "teach" us...... thx a lot Mr. Ruffo for this teaching Video :-)) Greetings from Germany
Attilio I've got to say that that tip of a minute over or under....brilliant. So simple yet I always struggled in sunrise and sunset...and you usually don't many attempts each time you are out...thx
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I note that you change from aperture mode to manual to adjust your histogram to the right. I shoot in aperture and adjust the exposure using exposure compensation; seems a quicker method, but both will produce the best quality from the RAW file.
Ah yes, of course due to the extreme long exposures. I think I'll give your method of exposing to the right in manual mode a go next time I'm out. Love all your videos so many thanks for sharing.
This is wonderful video and easy to understand!:) This is my method exactly, and I agree it works quite well for these waterscapes. Your images continue to inspire !!:)
Hi Attilio - I'm relieved to hear that you also don't 100% stick to the app recommendation times at sunrise and sunset...When I was starting out, I was also getting mixed results sticking to the time frames given and also would amend the time by ending the shot sooner or later (depending on if its sunrise or sunset)....I actually thought i was doing something wrong because i wasn't adhering to the times the apps would give. In hindsight its now obvious that a scene gets brighter at sunrise and darker at sunset so the times need to be changed to adjust to that, but it wasn't obvious when I was starting out. Thanks for another great video.
Looking forward to another great video on landscape and long exposure photography. You show how and explain in detail what you do, nice and calm, no hurry and "speed talk". I grow my understanding and knowledge of techniques from your videos, thanks.
Very good explanation Attilio, especially about decreasing and increasing at sunrise and sunset. I have the 20mm 1.8 and I also love it for landscapes. Thanks for all the great videos, love your work.
When you said 4-5 min exposure at the end, I was confused. You really do mean LONG exposure, wow. So, my camera is an entry level basically, D3400. I can only go up to 30 second exposure. Anything during the day and that is going to be completely over exposed until I have my aperture closed down down. So, this is where the filters come into play? And, you're attaching these square filters to the front of your camera, how?
Attilio, as usual such an informative and crisp video. Loved the way you explained how to manipulate shutter speed at Sunrise and Sunsets. And the images you shot is outstanding. You are a true inspiration.
Great video, thank you for the tips. I just recently started shooting long exposures with a 10 stop ND filter, but instead of doing calculations, focusing and then placing my ND filter on, I've left the filter on and used the LCD screen in Live View for composition, focus and exposure. Your thoughts? Again, thank you.
Great advice to modify the app exposure recommendations at sunset and sunrise! You mentioned adding a ND grad to your filter stack for shooting long exposures but didn't indicate when to add it (before or after grabbing the base exposure). Might be good to clarify for newer shooters that the ND grad is put on before you calculate the base exposure, which you then modify with an app to get the correct long exposure with the regular full ND filter in place. Another tip for new shooters looking to get ND filters but wanting to ave money is that a 6 stop and a 10 stop ND filter gan be used in a stack to make a 16 stop filter! That's what I do anyway. Thanks for your great videos as always.
I guess the effect of 2 or 3 stop grad is not that great over a several minute exposure in the end. Good to know either will work. I use a mirrorless MFT, but have seen some pros with FF cameras mention using a live histogram that can be viewed during the long exposure, and they will simply stop the exposure when they see the histo looks correctly exposed to them. Seems like another useful approach if your particular camera supports it.
I have been wanting to say this for a long time.. you remind me so much of Anthony Bourdain (RIP Legend), he was so easy to watch and listen to, as are you! Thanks for your highly regarded experience and information.
Illuminante come sempre!! Dopo aver provato (e reso) due filtri circolari sono passato al sistema portafiltri con un filtro da dieci stop. Non mi resta che aspettare le giuste condizioni per provare ad imitarti!!!
I started to use all your suggestions and now I'm getting awesome shots. In this video you also mentioned the histogram. Please, can you create a dedicated tutorial about this topic? Thanks a lot Attilio. You are doing really a great job! I find all your tutorials a must to have a look at and to put into my favorites.
Grazie veramente di cuore per i tuoi video! Sono un amatore neofita della fotografia digitale e della post. I tuoi video sono il sussidiario che mi accompagna nel lungo percorso di affinamento della mia ancor grezza tecnica fotografica. Grazie ancora e complimenti per la sintesi e la modalità espositiva.
Great photo from Portland Headlight. I live not too far from there. I have to follow you more closely so I know next time you’re in the area. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks for all your tutorials.
I am new to digital photography and watched a lot of videos. Thank you, for doing this. Based of those I bought the LEE delux kit with holder, big stopper, 3 filters and polo. I paid 1.400cad$ for a plastic holder and acryl glass. Also I got the LEE filter puche for 75$. First of all I habe the subjective impression this is way to mutch money for this but we can argue about art etc. So Inkeep my mouth shut on this. But objective I have to say this is just not thought through: the 10 stopper has a sealed edge to block the light comming in from the side but it is NOT covering everything. There is no way to block the sun comming in from the side. I have to push the filter low down to have only one open spot on the bottom. If the filter would be a little wider/longer then this would not be a problem. Maybe I do something wrong? Also the pouche - space for 10 filters but not for the holder? Really? Love your videos - thanks again.
I am still discovering your videos. Great insights and suggestions particularly how you increase or decrease the shutter speed depending on when you are taking the picture. Thanks
Hi Mr Ruffo at 3:15 you say that to move the histogram to the right keeping the same exposure :«increase the shutter speed» i presume you wanted to say increase the time of the exposure that means slow the shutter speed. thank you
I'm not sure there’s many photographers out there, at any level, who manage to balance technical knowledge and artistic interpretation quite as good as you. The only two I can think of are the great David Muench who many think is the greatest living landscape photographer, and my fellow Lancastrian Michael Kenna who just happened to go to school with my late best friend.
Thank you Attilio for this great short video :) Much appreciated. As I commented on one of your videos before, I use a welding glass of 10 DIN which equals around 12 stops. I usually aim for the middle of my histogram when I am exposing but sometimes might move to the right just a little bit. I usually shoot between F8 and F11 but sometimes at night I shoot at F16 just to get a starburst effect if I there are lit up street lamps. :) Thank you once again :)
Im an amateur at my best but when taking the initial exposure before adding filters I usually do it with the polarizing filter on (if used) since it darkens the exposure 1 stop or so. Give or take. Another thing I've encountered is that the app or one interpreter from Lee can vary wildly from scene to scene. If I use the 10 stops alone I need to add at least 10-20 seconds on the exposure time. If using big stopper, graduated and polarizer I'm looking at about 25 seconds to 1 minute extra. Even when light conditions stay the same
Attilio, short video, but very clear and to the point. I would start following your channel. I live in south florida and lately I have become really interested in long exposure photography. It is great! Where can I see your instagram?
Hi Anthony, Really like your tutorial. Love the idea of making sure the histogram is more to the left. More times i have ruined the chance of a great photo with into too much to the left and then too much noise post-processing. I have learned to love the histogram in-camera! Yes, the advice re: sunset and sunrise is great. One of my online lessons suggested not to use a filter during sunrise and sunset because of the change but I am going with your advise. I am going to get that 3 stop filter ND soft filter, too - prefer to get better results in camera with less editing after. Thank you.
Hi Attilio, Please correct me if I am wrong. at 3:10 you said you will "increase" the shutter speed to correct the under-exposed image, did you mean "decreasing" the shutter speed? Thanks, love your all videos.
So Big F in the sunny day will not make “darker” the image And let’s say when I want to shoot the smooth of the waterfall I have to increase shutter speed to more that 5 seconds (maybe) In order to increase the shutter speed, will make the image more “over exposure” Now that’s why I need ND filters? And 10 stops in ND filter : the brightness of the 5 seconds shutter speed will be like 1/5 in shutter speed 5 seconds SS getting block by 10 ND so it become 1/5 shutter speed Is that 10 stops mean?
Whoa... back with another amazing video, the way you explain is too good. Very informative and lots to learn from your expertise. Looking forward for a video dedicated on histogram, how it affects if on left ryt how to judge etc...(Hope you consider my request) Thanks for the video though.
We bought our first filter - Kenko PL Fader ND3-ND400 filter. Thought this is good approach for beginners.. so we are trying it out.. what are your thoughts on adjustable filters? Never heard you mentioning those kinds, but then again - you are pro - and we are beginners and maybe this kind of filter is interesting for beginners only :)
Well said I been learning a lot from you to do long exposure And everything you been saying it’s been helpful to me and you a mentor to me and thank you
Hi Attilio. Common instruction when shooting long exposures on a DSLR is to block the viewfinder so light doesn't leak in and overexpose the image. I have occasionally forgotten to do that, but have not had Ill effects (I use a Canon 5D Mark 4). How important is blocking the VF in reality with modern DSLRs? Thanks.
Video come sempre estremamente utile,ormai i tuoi tutorial li ho imparati a memoria :D quel mulino con l'Argentario sullo sfondo mi ha emozionato,visto che e' casa mia :D
Attilio, thank you again for a great video. I especially like the tip about modifying the app shutter speed for sunrise and sunset. I have been using F14 to get the most dept of focus but know this is probably a little too close to the diffraction point. I will try using a wider lens and F8 and see about the results (note using APSC, Nikon D500) Thanks again!!
I am not sure why...but my chat window doesn't let me reply anymore! So write a comment if you have any questions...
I might! :-)
Hi Attilio
I know you love your 20mm for the Nikon. Can you advise me for a crop sensor canon?
I've been a photographer for a few years already, but I'm always willing to listen to others. Your videos are very well presented. You have that great way of explaining that seems very clear and pleasing. You can tell you have such a personable personality.

Oh, well. You can't please everyone. Please keep the video's coming.
Thanks Mike! And you’re right... you can’t please everyone! :-) but that’s ok!
Very honest simple straightforward advice. Thank you.
I've been shooting landscape for many year and I'm just starting to learn how to do long exposure. I'm glad I found you on RUclips. Thanks.
Thanks John!

Thanks a lot Ole! See you tomorrow... :-)
Thanks for the tip about long exposure at sunrise and sunset!

You can go into bulb mode but you need a shutter cable plus you can get circular ND filters for your lenses that screw on
Great video Attlilio. Great advice on the sunset and sunrise, I didn't really think about the light change in the past!!
Thanks Tim! 👍
Attilio, as usual such an informative and crisp video. Loved the way you explained how to manipulate shutter speed at Sunrise and Sunsets. And the images you shot is outstanding. You are a true inspiration.
Thank you Anuja!
good point, light changing through duration of 5+ minute exposure. Thanks
👍
Thank you again. Buying my filters very soon and then on to vacation.
Have fun!
Another great video. I stopped using a grad filter and just started using the grad filter in LR more often.
Thanks mate! 🙏
Beautiful work.

Steven Sylvester thank you! :-)
Thanks Attilio, I like your videos and and even like the way you talk. It is easy to understand and of course very informative.
Thank you! 🙏
I am new to digital photography and watched a lot of videos. Thank you, for doing this.
Based of those I bought the LEE delux kit with holder, big stopper, 3 filters and polo.
I paid 1.400cad$ for a plastic holder and acryl glass. Also I got the LEE filter puche for 75$.
First of all I habe the subjective impression this is way to mutch money for this but we can argue about art etc. So Inkeep my mouth shut on this.
But objective I have to say this is just not thought through: the 10 stopper has a sealed edge to block the light comming in from the side but it is NOT covering everything. There is no way to block the sun comming in from the side. I have to push the filter low down to have only one open spot on the bottom. If the filter would be a little wider/longer then this would not be a problem. Maybe I do something wrong?
Also the pouche - space for 10 filters but not for the holder? Really?
Love your videos - thanks again.
These filters are not cheap! :-(
Davvero un bel tutorial!!! Come al solito ricco di suggerimenti molto utili, soprattutto a chi ama le foto paesaggistiche come me...grazie Attilio
Grazie mille Alberto!
I am still discovering your videos. Great insights and suggestions particularly how you increase or decrease the shutter speed depending on when you are taking the picture. Thanks

Hi Mr Ruffo at 3:15 you say that to move the histogram to the right keeping the same exposure :«increase the shutter speed» i presume you wanted to say increase the time of the exposure that means slow the shutter speed. thank you
Correct. Increase the length of the exposure...
Just started watching your videos and I really like your style! Calm and very comprehensible for a beginner like me. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot Tina, happy you joined this channel! :-) see you tomorrow then...
@@AttilioRuffo Absolutely!
Awesome! :-)
I like the music introduction in your videos.
Thanks
Many thanks for this video, Attilio. It is the best video I have seen to date on the subject. I learned a lot.

Thank you Attilio for this great short video :) Much appreciated. As I commented on one of your videos before, I use a welding glass of 10 DIN which equals around 12 stops. I usually aim for the middle of my histogram when I am exposing but sometimes might move to the right just a little bit. I usually shoot between F8 and F11 but sometimes at night I shoot at F16 just to get a starburst effect if I there are lit up street lamps. :) Thank you once again :)
Thank you Dominik!
Attilio why have I not found your channel sooner! Great content! Probably best I've found on RUclips.
Thank you...don't worry this is just the beginning! :-)
Im an amateur at my best but when taking the initial exposure before adding filters I usually do it with the polarizing filter on (if used) since it darkens the exposure 1 stop or so. Give or take.
Another thing I've encountered is that the app or one interpreter from Lee can vary wildly from scene to scene. If I use the 10 stops alone I need to add at least 10-20 seconds on the exposure time. If using big stopper, graduated and polarizer I'm looking at about 25 seconds to 1 minute extra. Even when light conditions stay the same
Yes...in the end practice and experience will always work better than the app! :-)
Attilio, short video, but very clear and to the point. I would start following your channel. I live in south florida and lately I have become really interested in long exposure photography. It is great! Where can I see your instagram?
Been excited for this episode since i saw it was premiering. As always , you didn’t disappoint
Thanks Seths! I feel the pressure... :-)
I am a new fan and appreciate your advice.

Hi Attilio, Please correct me if I am wrong. at 3:10 you said you will "increase" the shutter speed to correct the under-exposed image, did you mean "decreasing" the shutter speed? Thanks, love your all videos.
How am I just finding you in RUclips... Very clear and helpful.. thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏 and welcome to my channel 👍
I'm still watching your videos Atilio... I really hope you are doing well... I miss your every week videos.... Big fan of yours here. Cheers Amigo
Cesar R Herrera thanks mate 🙏
So
Big F in the sunny day will not make “darker” the image
And let’s say when I want to shoot the smooth of the waterfall
I have to increase shutter speed to more that 5 seconds (maybe)
In order to increase the shutter speed, will make the image more “over exposure”
Now that’s why I need ND filters?
And 10 stops in ND filter : the brightness of the 5 seconds shutter speed will be like 1/5 in shutter speed
5 seconds SS getting block by 10 ND so it become 1/5 shutter speed
Is that 10 stops mean?
I so enjoy your tutorials, and I think you are truly helping me,
Thanks Ronald, happy to hear!!!
Great video and good point which I have never thought of it. Thank you very much!!
Thanks 🙏
Very helpful Attilio really. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks George!
awesome info sir...thank you
Thank you 🙏
Whoa... back with another amazing video, the way you explain is too good. Very informative and lots to learn from your expertise. Looking forward for a video dedicated on histogram, how it affects if on left ryt how to judge etc...(Hope you consider my request) Thanks for the video though.
thank you! Yes I am planning to do a video dedicated to the Histogram....
Very good info. I'm looking forward to putting your info to work in my shoots in the near future.
Cool! 👍
Great vide as always, need sometime by the water now!
👍
Thank you, very much, Attilio!!!

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
Thank you 🙏
Congratulazioni lei e molto bravo la seguo da poco e trivi i suoi video interessanti

I thought this was Ric Flair 😂 Great video this, earned my “like”
We bought our first filter - Kenko PL Fader ND3-ND400 filter. Thought this is good approach for beginners.. so we are trying it out.. what are your thoughts on adjustable filters? Never heard you mentioning those kinds, but then again - you are pro - and we are beginners and maybe this kind of filter is interesting for beginners only :)
Prezioso tutorial.
🙏🙏🙏
yes i like this video. thanks a lot for your help, and sharing your knowlegde about photography Attilio :-))
Thanks 🙏
Well said I been learning a lot from you to do long exposure
And everything you been saying it’s been helpful to me and you a mentor to me and thank you
Thank you very much Mike!
Hi Attilio. Common instruction when shooting long exposures on a DSLR is to block the viewfinder so light doesn't leak in and overexpose the image. I have occasionally forgotten to do that, but have not had Ill effects (I use a Canon 5D Mark 4). How important is blocking the VF in reality with modern DSLRs? Thanks.
Yes indeed! The longer is the exposure the more important is to block the viewfinder, I just close it every time!
Thank you for the very informative video, if I might make a suggestion; I find the background music quite distracting, I think none would be better.
please make a video on how & when to use polarizer, and different types of filters
Great instructional video, Well Done!!
Thanks 🙏
man this was super insightful! really enjoy learning from you
thanks for sharing this great content with us and i really really enjoyed watching this!
Thank you mate!
I think you meant to say decrease shutter speed to move the histogram to the right?
Video come sempre estremamente utile,ormai i tuoi tutorial li ho imparati a memoria :D quel mulino con l'Argentario sullo sfondo mi ha emozionato,visto che e' casa mia :D
Un posto magnifico! :-)
thank you you remind me of Dustin Hoffman + Al Pacino.
Attilio, thank you again for a great video. I especially like the tip about modifying the app shutter speed for sunrise and sunset. I have been using F14 to get the most dept of focus but know this is probably a little too close to the diffraction point. I will try using a wider lens and F8 and see about the results (note using APSC, Nikon D500) Thanks again!!
Thank you Tom! you will like the sharpness of f8 and with an APSC sensor, you might want to go a ted wider too...
Excellent videos you make! Love them!
Thanks a lot Jens!
