@@BandH I 'soitenly' did! 😀 I was contemplating carrying out some Long Exposures and there you were with 5 (yay, 5!) great tips. I've said it a million times before, but you guys at B&H never disappoint.🙏

[@Noealz]

I've got a few ideas of my own as well : )

[@BandH]

Great!

[@slrlounge]

We would love to hear them!

[@pritamstudio9069]

Hello Mam , when im trying to do so, my subject also getting blurred . Can you help out how to keep subject sharp and focused

[@weddingvloge8835]

Very nice tips

[@hx0d]

Helpful vid, well made too! I'll certainly use tip 2!

[@ceciliamarie2375]

Whenever I try, my subject is blurry. If I speed it then there aren't any streaks. What am I doing wrong? I wanna get this down! It's SO cool looking!

[@ceciliamarie2375]

Also, I have the flash on when I do it too. I have the Canon R6 but I'm guessing that shouldn't make a difference right?

[@faithmondavid216]

thank yu

[@bobbleberry8576]

When you mention to freeze the subject, they are dancing still in the video?

[@Twizzforsberg]

Thanks perfect video 👍

[@Bushcraft242]

Thank you

[@TalhaKhan-ms8nk]

This was very helpful

[@darkideon]

how do you achieve a photo as in 2:02 ?? how is that light moving around an why we don't see the person/thing moving it?

[@BandH]

Photos like these are produced with moving lights and a shutter speed of 1/10 of a second or slower to capture the motion of the light. Contact us via e-mail if you have additonal questions. [e-mail] >Mark

[@hamishwrobb8749]

The flash freezes the subjects?? Thought all that camera movement would blur subjects as well..?

[@BandH]

If the flash duration is very short, it will be able to freeze a subject despite any movement in the camera.

[@gastoncouriel5822]

when u shoot with direct flash, itch configuration do u use?

[@BandH]

The configuration can vary depending on type of light modifier you would use. If you would like to discuss in greater detail, please feel free to reach out to us via Live Chat on our site this evening until 8PM ET.

[@kaviarasansenthil3732]

Good explanation ❤️

[@TalentboyVlog]

This is what you called short and sweet

[@JohnMarston1876]

I know you probably won't answer this but could you explain the whip pan in a little more detail? This is a really cool technique I'd like to learn.

[@BandH]

The whip pan technique requires a bit of precision, especially if you need to create a composite in post using multiple images (more on that later). First, set up your tripod, securely place your camera on it, and make sure the horizon is level in your viewfinder. Next, frame and compose your shot. The background should have enough points of light to create interesting light streaks when you pan the camera left and right, which brings us to one last item; be sure to loosen the lock on your ball head for horizontal panning movement. Place the camera on a tripod, unlock the panning knob to move the camera from right to left, setting the shutter speed to one second and using a flash to freeze the subject. >Mark

[@JohnMarston1876]

B&H Photo Video thank you so much!

[@MILPICS]

How on earth with 1/8 shutter the subjects are so sharp?

[@JeeTee_]

How do you keep your subjects sharp on those waterfall pictures?

[@BandH]

The subjects simply stood very still during the 1/10 second exposure. >Mark

[@jackelliott7853]

You could also take multiple photos and composite them together in post photo editing

[@hardiktailor1272]

Everytime my body blur when i used sutter speed ofr Light streaks with moving lights...

[@ajmasters6546]

Can you do this with any cameras?

[@BandH]

It would be best to use these techniques with cameras that offer a mechanical shutter such as a DSLR or a mirrorless camera.

[@jhenukumar]

Thank you very much. But where is Susan.

[@3rebornxd]

Tip 4 needs a flash?

[@BandH]

A flash is only needed if you would like to shoot a portrait in addition to the night sky.

[@francoismarc3]

@@BandH Immensely helpful!! Thanks:)

[@gewglesux]

I need to try all of these..#4 wont work in Manhattan.

[@MatthewSaville]

There are some dark sky sites pretty close to NY NY, though! Try checking out "Dark Sky Finder" and searching nearby... Here's a video with more tips about the Milky Way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZbZYoV7dqqFfs0

[@slrlounge]

Let us know how they work out for you!

It sure it :)

[@bhushanschannelandgroup1962]

Hey your looking like "raja kumari"😮💓

[@marieschaller4560]

Yes, but how are you getting your subjects crisp and in focus? Not even their hair is blown. What do you mean by "composite your image"?

[@vibin7152]

How do I make myself invisible it always shows me

[@BandH]

If shooting a long exposure, you can use a 10 stop ND filter which will help remove any unwanted areas of the image. We invite you to reach to us via Live Chat on the B&H website or call 1-800-606-6969 so we can go over the option based on your particular camera and lens combo.

[@BandH]

Please e-mail us: [e-mail] >Mark

[@darkshaman7087]

Iso to high for the night showing in this video as will produce to much noise

[@aakinaalin]

she forgot to tell us abt ND filter

[@Withcare111]
