Jared Day 4: Fun With Shutter Speed


I've been playing around with shutter speed lately. Took these tonight looking down onto interstate 89 about 5 minutes from my house. Lack of tripod and shaking hands due to the 30 degree temp left me with these two out of about 20. I went to the airport and attempted to get one of an airplane landing but it came out pretty crappy. On the plus side I've got another 361 days to try and get a good one.

  2. Love that you're trying extended exposures. I have been doing the same... well, I tried it one night recently.

    As for the shakiness, I know just what you mean. I didn't have a tripod either. What I found worked as a pretty okay substitute though, was the top of the truck I was driving. I stood in the bed, set the camera on top of the cab, then lined up the shot, and gently pressed the shutter and stepped back.

  3. I've been meaning to try this too. I've wanted to see if I can leave the shutter open long enough to just get the traffic to disappear.
