| | | Hey everyone. Pretty new here. Just took my second real exploration trip yesterday. I was in this abandoned medical center, and decided to take a picture out the window with a long exposure. The goal was to be 'looking out the window', and have a really cool long exposure of a highway on the other side. I'm very new to exploration an to photography, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Long exposure window shot by Hugedick Fellas, on Flickr

| | | Definitely putting in another vote for needing a tripod for long exposures. I personally don't like to use mine when doing explores because it's just another piece of shit to carry, but I tend to explore during the day and I have a camera that does all right at higher ISO. If you're shooting at night or anywhere with such low light you need a decent tripod. I'd recommend getting one with a ball head too, since leveling a tripod without one is a pain in the ass since you're constantly fiddling with the height of the legs. Also, definitely get a remote trigger. You've got a T3i, so you can grab something like this: http://www.amazon....eras/dp/B00BCEJ0E0 for less than $10. For night or very low-light, I like to set my camera to use the remote on a 2 second timer and set the shooting controls to full manual with manual focus. Make sure everything is good and settled and then shoot away. Adjust ISO, shutter speed, and aperture as needed and try again. It's sometimes hard to gauge what combination of these factors will work best for a given lighting environment, so it helps to experiment a little and see what works for your camera and shooting style.

| | | If you really don't want to get a tripod, learn to use surrounding objects as a makeshift tripod. See a table or counter or chair? Set the camera down, put it in timer mode, click the shutter release and wait for it to finish. Get creative. It isn't optimal, but it can work. Otherwise, you could do what I do, and take 4-8 pictures at an incredibly high ISO, then auto-align them in photoshop, and take the median value. This gets rid of most (if not all) of the outlying ISO noise. The result is a decent quality picture. Most people will tell you not to bother. It can be a lot of work, but it's either that or bringing a tripod.

| | | Hello! not bad for your first shot! Here are some things I do to get a killer long exposure shot: - I use a canon rebel t3i - my shutter speed is 30" or 25" - ISO goes to the lowest, so thats 100 - I also use a tripod - I also try to not get any street lights in the photo because I believe thats why it gets all orange, I could be totally wrong that's just my opinion. some simple things such as straightening the picture and making it darker would help! again, this isn't too bad. if you didn't wanna take any of the tips others and myself have suggested I would simply darken the window area in photoshop or something. I recently took my first long exposure. I'm probably going to post my attempts and ask for advice as well. keep trying with it. I stood outside in 14 degree weather last weekend on a bridge for two hours trying to get a decent shot! lol I fell taking my first one so here, oh boy1.
