    I want to get into long exposure photography. I’ve been looking at DSLR’s, I found a Sony camera, it’s model is the a58. Do you or anyone think that it can do long exposure photography?

    I really enjoyed this video… you seem to know a lot about the Nikon D 40. I can’t find a really good detailed video that goes over all of the nikon settings features and what they do. Beginners like me need a video with details… In S mode my screen looked different then yours? Can you make a detailed Nikon video explaining details features?

    Hello there, have you tried “photo SFX art” (just google it)? There you will find a smart free video featuring how you can create amazing photos. It made it possible for Daniel to make photographs which leave you with that wow-effect any time you take a look at them. Hopefully it will help you too…

    Hey, have you tried “Photo SFXart Tricks” (just search on Google for it …)? On their website you will find a useful free video demonstrating the best way to create awesome photos. It helped Joe to take photos that leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect whenever you look at them. It might help you out too…

    Hello, have you heard of “PhotoSFXart” (do a Google search for it)? On their website you can watch a useful free video showing the best way to make fantastic photos. This helped Matt to create photographs that have a jaw-dropping-effect whenever you look at them. I hope it will work for you also…

    You’re my hero. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have been looking for instructions for a while, for a Nikon D40 specifically, and this is exactly what I needed. My sister wants to do light writing with Sparklers for 4th of July and you have taught me just in time. A million thanks!

    Wow, I can’t believe some of these comments. I thought your video was very informative. Thank you for taking the time to teach long-exposure technique.

    What I want to know,

    How do people do shots for more than 10 minutes without the picture starting to seem over expose?

    Is it filters?

  25. Meldon Lobo says:
