Winter pictures - share what you've got Anybody been out taking cool winter photographs lately? I'm not much of a photographer, but I didn't have anything to do tonight, so I tinkered around the city and took some pictures. Still working on getting my exposures right, especially working in low light conditions with a tripod. I also messed around with some passing cars, dropping my shutter way down - as you can tell, I didn't get it that well. Still, it was a decent way to spend a few hours. I used a D70, with a 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5 lens, and Manfrotto sticks. Unfortunately, I didn't have a wireless shutter release with me. http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...n/DSC_0194.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...n/DSC_0200.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...n/DSC_0211.jpg Question: is it possible to shoot a fast enough shutter at night to capture the snow falling, yet still get proper exposure? Do I need a different lens that can shoot a much larger aperture? |

During the day, easy peasy. Just use the manual focus and set the aperture as low as you can ... looks awesome if you have lots of snow. |
If you want to capture the snow falling and use a long shutter speed, try using the flash during a long exposure. I don't know if you'll like the results, but that's one way to do it. |
I thought Felix had a shot of his friends Superleggera at night and he froze the snow flakes falling? |
