hello!
i am having a problem with trying to get a photo of water falls with the water that looks like mist with the BULB setting on my camera, but always it turns out white because of to much light. Do i have to edit?
Thanks,
AndriaHi Andria, welcome to the forums!
Unless you really know how to calculate your exposure exactly, you’re going to have a very hard time getting a properly exposed photo in the daylight with Bulb Mode.
Generally a camera that is advanced enough to have Bulb Mode will also allow you to manually set your shutter speed (Shutter Priority “Tv” mode on a Canon, and “S” mode on a Nikon). You can usually select a shutter speed up to 30 seconds long which should be more than enough for a day-time exposure.
I would suggest you experiment with Shutter Priority Mode on your camera, and see if you can make that work for you. Start out with a fast shutter speed, then slowly start lengthening it till you get the “misty” effect on the water that you want.
Conduct your experiments on a tripod too. And experiment with actual, flowing water. From my experience 1/10th of a second or slower is the general ballpark.
And as a side note to those who have membership access to it, here’s a video outlining the 5 steps to capturing the smooth water effect:
