    you may have to travel. OR try it from a hotel room. A friend went to Chicago and took a cool long X shot from the 14 or 15th floor

    Hi there, are you familiar with “photo SFX art” (just google it)? On their website you can watch a good free video explaining the best way to create better photographs. This made it possible for Matt to make photographs which have a jaw-dropping-effect after you look at them. It might help you also…

    Hi, do you know “Photo SFXart Tricks” (just search on Google for it …)? On their website you can watch a smart free video featuring the way to make awesome pictures. It made it easier for Daniel to take photographs that have a jaw-dropping-effect any time you take a look at them. It might work for you as well…

    Depends what effect you want. Outdoor light sources vary widely, and you’ll likely end up with many different types in your photo. Best bet is to shoot in raw if your camera is capable of such, and then choose the best setting later. Or experiment on site with test shots at different white balances to see what you like.

    Hehe no mate, I was talking about the aperture 🙂 how much does that cost 🙂

    Free. They are all settings that you can change on the camera.

    The ND filter would help, or you could use a shorter exposure but this means the entire picture wont be as bright. There are no other options i know of. Sorry.
