Experimenting Slow Shutter Speed

The night yesterday gave an opportunity to experiment with low light, long exposure photographs. The images below have been captured by Canon SX130IS. Although capturing better images will require a higher end camera, I am highly satisfied with the results. I believe there is lot to learn for me in the field of photography. The learning path for this has been decided and the progress on the same has started, details later ;) Right now enjoy the experiments for the visual treat of shutter speed photography.

Though many a times the photographs being showcased tend to be from within the campus, attempts are being made to showcase different view points for the same objects. Yesterday we experienced a total blackout for few minutes. And here are the benefits of the blackout.

Outdoor Experiments

Lightning Captured

Although the intention was to capture the lonely head light of the vehicle which had come to the hostel, lightning was an added surprise for the click. Exposure 15 seconds, ISO 1600, 2816x2112.

The Vehicle Captured

And finally was able to capture the vehicle lights. This time I only reduced the exposure time to 4 seconds. This was essential to improve the image stability, get a more clearer picture.



Indoor Experiments

This time even reduced the ISO for absorbing less light. All the pics below are with ISO 400. This was essential as compared to the outdoor settings as a distant light outdoors is more difficult to capture than a nearer light indoors

PS: I just hoped i had a tripod i could have stabilised my camera a bit more to get better picture quality, lower shake.
PS: Higher end cameras' provide better image stability but the cost-benefit analysis of camera at present lowers the utility factor of going high end :)
