G5 can only do 30 seconds tops. You need at least a DSLR for those sorts of shots in bulb mode. I have a G5 as well as a Nikon D70 DSLR and gonna buy a 20D soon... Im a little bit of a photography nut myself. ;)

Re: This fucker deserved his own thread...

I have a nightmare trying to take picts with the G5 in manual mode, I cant stop getting hazy /shaky picts if I hold the fucker in my hand, got a tripod for it and still its not the best solution if the subject is moving..... what do I do in that case ??

The shakey blurring will happen due to the fact that when you press the shutter down even when the camera is on the tripod you are actually moving the camera while the sensor (digital's equivalent of the shutter) is open. If you dont have a remote you can simply use the self timer for those long exposures - that way you can make sure that your finger wont be on the release and will not move the camera whilst the sensor is open.

DSLR's have a handy little release remote that I use for long night shots. :) f.

Re: This fucker deserved his own thread...

other than the terminology and what its meant to do, no I dont..... guess that explains my noobness :mama:

sorry didnt mention it..... I was refering to taking photos with the remote control and getting blurred images because of the subject moving...

Re: This fucker deserved his own thread...

Im assuming youre talking about daylight conditions... You need to make sure youre using a high shutter speed (>650) if you dont want any motion blur - with a low enough ISO (something like 200) and a f stop of about 5.6 should do it. This is for normal daylight conditions...

For night its a totally differnet ballgame. You need a GOOD fillflash to get rid of motion blur with a HIGH f-stop and HIGH ISO if you dont want any motion blur in low light conditions.

fstops (appertures) is the single most important thing to learn in photography.

Read a little about aperture here: (or just google it)

Although I dont give a shit about tutorials... Learn by practise. ... :) f.

exactly why I know even the little bit that I do.... I just fuck with the settings until the green squares appear in the display confirming the shot is ready to go :lol:

Re: This fucker deserved his own thread...

what the fuck happened to my post? :lol:

anyway, f beat me to it. shoot one object with the M-mode and see what effects you get. That is how i learned. I know my settings by heart to get the desired image i want. took me a while, but i know.

Re: This fucker deserved his own thread...

I like it. first picture I've seen here that I'd set as my background

Re: This fucker deserved his own thread...
