Patrick, tripod and long exposures (mga 10 seconds and up). To do a silhouette, use partial metering and aim the center area at the brighter part of the photo. Get the reading and use that to take the shot. Manual mode dapat. Set aperture to f/11 or a bit higher for landscapes and to get those light trails as well.

Ian, yeah, sayang, I'm sure it would have been a fun shoot again. When I get back? haha. :)

Hey vic, nope, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor is near the Great Highway, around 34th street I think. There were trees there and I thought I'd make a few silhouettes.

Haha, sure, just give me a call.

Hi der, i admire your pics, it's really great, how did you do this traffice effect?
mercado wrote on Jan 30, '07
Thanks. :)

To do light trails, you need a tripod and a camera with a lens you can set the aperture to around f/11. Exposure time is around 5-30 seconds depending on the lighting conditions.

Haha, I don't know how many he produced. It is a museum. Hmm, from what i remember, he did not take up all the galleries inside naman.

Thanks. :D
