I believe this is the best way to set your camera up when shooting long exposures. Do you set yours up differently? I'd be very interested to hear how. Cheers Gary
Erm... its a miss and go first few times. Set iso 64, aperture f8 ish, focus middlish some place, manual mode and hope for the best. Im going yo save your video and play it twice and put a note in the iphone exact order. I have 70 percent perfected myself so far. Excellent video. Thanks going to subscribe to your channel.
Hi Gary.... Greetings from Bali....., thank you so much for your respond, very appreciated ... I will do and follow exactly your Tutorial here..., and the plan is this week end.. go to the quite beach (*___*). Never stop to learn about Longexp.., what I think also the point in here is the Filter ND it's self who can make the Longexp Landscape result is "Amazing Picture". I'm not use Haida Filter... just using ND10 mid quality filter... (no doubted for Haida). I'm sure that I still can get the better Longexp quality photos too....
Yes there is no image stabilisation switch on the lenses so I have to go into camera menus to find it , which is a real faff and pain . I know to get a good quality image it needs to be switched off but I was wonder if with built in it was so detrimental
Pretty much the only difference I have is as I use back button focus I don't need to switch the lens to manual. Additionally I've found my camera will happily expose (down to 30s) with a 10 stop filter so I can take the photo in aperture priority mode which makes me a little quicker. Anything over 30s I too need an app etc. What are your thoughts re mirror lock up? Have you found it necessary?
This is how people with learning difficutys like me actually learn,great stuff here mate you deserve a trophy for this well done. I wish everything in life was thought like this.Its the way to do it.
One of the easiest and best instructional videos on Long Exposure! Only thing I don't understand is, why your channel doesn't have over 100-k subscribers yet! I challenge all of Gary's subscribers to invite one person to join. That would push this channel over the 100-k mark! This channel deserves it! Thanks Gary from one of your followers in the USA!
I shot the old pier at Weston Super Mare at sunset yesterday. Had to use f22 but managed 8 seconds. Came out quite well, but I can see the benefit of NDFs. Next time. Great video, BTW.
Love the way you do your tutorials To the point no BS and no frigging fancy words to confuse people to go learn an unnecessary word that we can do without with all the friggng complication we have to deal with as it is Thank you Now I have more time to shoot instead of looking in the dictionary
I've been taking pictures for years, but this tutorial has taken my understanding on a significant step. Your advice is very easy to grasp and replicate. You're a good teacher. Thanks.
Gary. I’m just starting out at trying long exposure photography. This video was so useful for a beginner like myself. Great instructional video, I’ve made my notes now I’m ready to get started. Much appreciate for your expertise advice. JohnC
Absolutely brilliant Gary I’m looking forward to seeing more seascapes you explain in simple terms that’s what I need thanks very much Regards Patsy Ireland
Gary, Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us all. I was failing miserable at long exposure work until I discovered your channel. I went up to Marys Shell just the other day in order to put what you have taught me into practice, I'm so pleased with the outcome. Surly we should be paying for these brilliant tutorials of yours? Hey, Just seen your midnight long exposure work of todays date! Brilliant! OK, so, should I ever bump into you and your good lady, then, well, a well deserved 3 course meal on me as a thank you. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated. Kind Regards
Gary have watched many tutorials on long exposures but gave up. How simple you made this I will be forever grateful can’t wait to get out to practice. Regards Harry
That’s over simplified. So practical with live demo on the LCD. As if you are teaching by the side of the student. Never seen like this so clear absolutely with no confusion. I shall try this today. I didn’t listen further to the 2 bd half of the video. Thanks Gary. 👍
Excellent Sir......Excellent......You just blown out all those complicated calculations for using ND filters.....Thank you very much for your tutorial......Im gonna try it very soon and would like to send you the results....
Great video! I’ve been trying to learn more about ND filters and most explanations are so confusing. Your video clearly outlines the necessary steps without over complicating the process. Thank you!
Very informative video. It was very easy to understand what you were talking about because you use very simple language. Thank you. Will go out and experiment and check the results.
That's what we all want to see ...An easy to follow ABC 123 Video on how to take long exposure shots.. I have been doing this for a while but with your helpful video I can take even better shots especially of the sea and water falls to get that great look. Thanks Gary
Very nice most of my long exposure are 35mm film at night and my lense is open for hrs. Shooting that way since the late 70s. Just this week I purchased my first digital camera that is not a pocket point and shoot. I found your teaching very accurate without extra fluff. So thank you for that. This weekend I plan on going to lassen volcanic national park and applying you're teachings with my new toy a sony slt a77ll. Your short class is expertly executed. I picked up enough to improve on it. Thanks for sharing. Keep shooting. Keep sharing.
Thanks Gary for all your explanations & your diction. This allows me to better understand your way to the filters. Again thanks & it's a "froggy" that says it !!!!! Have a good week end to you. Cheers
The check list is amazing Gary. I noted the points what you said and made a checklist and took to the sea side and took a beautiful smooth water on long exposure to 5 seconds. Amazing. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much! I'm going to Newfoundland in July and think that would be a great place to try seascape photography for the first time. This information is very helpful!!!
What a boss! I've been trying so hard to find this information because my camera was being very frustrating and GREAT to know that I might just be missing some gear. Thanks for a super easy to follow and well dictated video!
buh lodd iee brilliant set of vids , simple , ive only been doing this malarkey for 43 years and just been doing nd photos ,but you have nailed it on the head for me , plus the app is better than the one I have , straightforward set of simple rules to follow , liked the bit where you zoomed into the focus point to enlarge it set focus .pull out and shoot , never done that before , great stuff 10/10
Some good advice. I don't have a graduated ND filter so I shoot a 5 shot 1 stop bracket series and blend in post processing. It is a little more work, but achieves quite good results.
Thanks mate. I like simplicity and you explained it well. I’m just about to take a few shots of a river rippling over rocks at the foothills of the Australian Alps with a 10 stop filter on a Nikon D200 and D500. The lens is an old 35-70mm F/2.8 push pull from the 1980’s/90’s. Can’t wait to see the results. Hoping the rain doesn’t come early.😊
Hi am new this month to photography, just got myself a cannon camera and been practicing, watched alot of youtube videos now and realised long exposure is definitely for me. Would like to say thank you have explained it so well 👍😊
Great video, I use pretty much the same technique when doing long exposures. One tip regarding the Lee big stopper app. There's a lee proglass app in the app store that has a few extra functions making it even more useful (for example combining ND filters, having a timer, etc...). Same icon but red instead of blue, also completely free.
Having purchased a Lee 6 stop filter and a few ND Grads I was totally confused, it put me off using them but after watching this guide I'm going out tomorrow to experiment...Thanks for breaking it down into laymans terms!

Thanks Gary, I usually just wing it on shutter speed but lately have been using the live view/light meter and it seems so far I’m doing it right.
