ABOUT THIS PHOTO The empty lifeguard hut waits for daytime when the beach will be crowded. Taken at 20 minutes, f/10, and ISO 200.
10-13- Take a photograph at any shutter speed. I
use 1/30 second as my starting point. - Check the image and adjust the shutter
speed. - Create the equivalent shutter speed setting
using the aperture and ISO you want. - Take the photograph.
For example, if the original test shot is taken with
ISO 3200 and an aperture of f/2.8, then you need
to work out the equivalent settings: 3200 goes to
200, so you have to adjust the aperture by 4 full
stops.
To create the effect that the image was taken dur-
ing the day, I have found that the image needs to
be either correctly exposed or overexposed by a
stop (or more). The light of the moon and the
illumination it provides are really variable and
change from one night to the next. Sometimes
you might have to take the same shot numerous
times to get the one you want.
Above all, have fun and experiment.
