2008 gdsf
A few of the 500 photos that we took at the 2008 Great Dorset Steam Fair. They include some of our first attempt at night shots using digital cameras. All the photos were taken using a Fujipix S9600 with a tripod.

The night shots are excellent, I always try and get night shots when possible myself. Have you tried a really small aperture and an even longer exposure, I took some night shots in St Marks square Venice a couple of years ago with about a 20 second exposure, it was crowded with moving people at the time, but because of the long exposure they all disappeared and left the scene eerily empty. It might not work as well with traction engines and fairground rides but may be worth a try. Have a go at the fireworks display at Pickering with this method, that does work OK. Here's one from 2006 http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/q...006-011-01.jpg Phil |

A lot depends on the camera, mine is an oldish but good quality Canon G5. It has pretty much all the functions and modes that an SLR has, but in a semi-compact body. I use the manual mode for these shots, and also turn off the auto focus, when you have a very small aperture setting to allow the long exposure, things stay in focus better because of the greater depth of field (I think I got that right !!) Its a bit like the old pin-hole camera idea. Phil |
Yes. Small aperture = greater depth of field + longer exposure. I use the AV setting and make sure the flash is turned off.
