Being the glutton for punishment that I am, I went back to Reculver tonight to try and improve on yesterdays somewhat disappointing shoot.
This time I made sure I took some gloves and made sure my tripod, being a flimsy cheap one at the moment, was driven deep into the ground to eliminate wobble. Some friends on Facebook had recommended sticking to a lower ISO but using longer shots and so ISO 400 with 25 second exposers at f3.5 was applied following some test shots on a short exposure with flash to ensure the subject was in focus.
I had spent some time at home making myself familiar with the cameras intervalometer function so I could set it to shoot a series of long exposures continuously. At the bottom you will see I have attempted a star trail and also have compiled some shots into a timelapse video. I can see lots wrong with these, including some movement of the tripod [still!] but for a first attempt think they are pretty cool!
As always, I am here to learn to please do comment if you can be helpful. Equally, if you want to ask anything of me, I am always happy to try to help.
