 |  |  | Shooting in low light, or no light conditions.
< on 2/25/2013 1:41 AM >
|  | | | So I love to UE, and I'm not a huge photography guru, but I see these beautifully
multi colored lit photographs of the insides of drains and buildings and want to try it out myself. How would I go about doing that? Do you just raise the ISO and use your own lighting? What types of artificial lights work best?
Also in some photos you get that "ray of light" effect. Is that a special setting or lens?

| | | | And the "ray of light effect" is a consequence of very small aperture, ie. large f/number.

how so?? You almost never want to go past f7 or 8 underground, and doing so wont result in any rays of light....just really dark photos. Maybe I'm just unclear on what he means by "ray of light effect" tho....got any photos of what you think he;s talking aboot??

He means the "starburst" effect of shooting directly towards a light source. The smaller the aperture, the more pronounced the effect becomes.

Yeah, this is what I meant. Guess I wasn't quite as clear. This was actually f5.6 but it was directly into the flashlight

| | | | Tools required: One camera, take one drain, take four or five waterproof strobe lights (Preferrably different-colored).
Now, turn your camera to long shutter mode, push the capture button. Turn the strobe lights on, and pitch them up the drain as hard as you can. set your shutter time for about 20-30 seconds. Looks very cool.

| | | | Sorry for being so vague with the beam of light.
I meant something along the lines of this when I said ray of light.

I'm going to be trying the strobe light technique. I looked up a little bit of the gels that someone brought up earlier, but I'm a little confused on exactly how their implemented to get your effect?

| | | | That photo looks like well focused flashlight to me.
I could be wrong, but I don't think there's anything to special about the exposure (other than a narrow aperture and a decently long shutter).

What type of effect would that give on your picture? Is it something like this?

I believe he means something along the lines of this...
I did this with a flashlight by spinning it in circles, so the method is different, however I think it would have the same effect.
When it comes to colors, you would want GELS, which are the same type of material as 3D glasses.
If you put the gels in the front of your flashlight they will provide you with a controllable light source, and the ability to make photos like these...

That camera should be able to pull off long exposures quite easily.
My advice,
•buy a tripod (or use one you have)
•Get a shutter release cable, or use the timer function
•SHOOT IN MANUAL! If the shot is dark, as in zero light, you should do a 20 second f/8, ISO 100 shot, and use a flashlight gel, or at lease some sort of light source, and walk around the subject and light it up from all angles.
