I am watching the sunrise as it unfolds. At first it unfolds slowly, so I am snapping photos every few minutes. Between shots I am checking the metering and adjusting the exposure to maintain a metering selection. As sunrise approaches, the scene changes quickly and I am snapping photos much faster.
I am not using the auto mode settings on my camera. As I was doing my photo shoot this morning, I had every auto feature on my camera turned off including no auto-focus and no image stabilization. When I setup, I focus on the horizon then lock the focus by turning off the auto-focus. I have a bulb attached to my camera so that I do not have to touch the camera to take the shot (this eliminates the need for image stabilization).
I hope that answers how I am doing the photo shoots for the sunrises. Let me know if you have additional questions.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
Perfect response, that's a dig for me specially on the need to have a bulb to avoid the much needed color adjustments. Soon I'll apply this when I gets a real camera.
Also, Am not much familiar with the idea of metering, but am going to research more on the same.
Appreciate. Please do keep inspiring many, am topping that list.
Have an awesome week.
My camera has a built in light meter. I hold the aperture (f-stop) constant. I pick a light meter setting and adjust the exposure time to hold the setting or may the photo lighter or darker.
My camera has a setting that will do this automatically for me, but I learn more doing it the manual way.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
