Yeah. I've been trying to figure them out for quiet a while. All i remember about how to do them is. put the camera on something sturdy, and set a long shutterspeed. i forget everything else

Small aperture size (high F-stop number)? Otherwise, your picture might come out overexposed.

Actually it depends on what you're taking a picture of and the lighting (obviously), so yeah. You probably already knew this though..^^; What're you taking pictures of anyway? =] |

If you're gonna take pics at night, you can leave the shutter open for as long as you want, minutes, hours whatever. The longer you do, the more light you get on the pic when you expose it. You can make a pic you took late at night look like it was taken midday, late afternoon.

A pretty darn nice lens, although you have to be a bit close to your subject because the lens is so short. For traffic, I'm not sure if you would want to use reallllyyyy long shutter speeds else the pictures will just be blurs. And for dark/night, Tribal J_Rome summed it up. |
