Kan Win Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Reason for asking is:- This will be my 7th or so time taking photos of Light and Sound Shows in Thailand. I have an Olympus 8080 camera, tripod, wide angle lens (removable) and remote control. Setting that I have are the usual suspects, manual, aperture , shutter 15s to 1/4000 and (bulb, but never used it), iso 50 to 400 etc., have night mode never used it only Shutter Speed mode. Some of my pervious works below:- Don Chedi Monument, Suphan-buri – January 2007 1/2s f/2.4 at 7.4mm iso50 Even at that speed you can see people moving ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prasat Muang Sing Historical Park – Kanchanaburi – February 2006 1/4s f/2.4 at 7.1mm iso50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kanchanaburi – November 2005 2s f/2.4 at 7.4mm iso50 2s f/2.4 at 7.4mm iso50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can imagine how wide my wide angle lens is in the photo below, no Zoom allowed with this lens. Kanchanaburi – December 2006 10s f/2.4 at 7.4mm iso50 8s f/2.4 at 7.4mm iso50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do members have any hints or tips about this subject? I welcome your input as next month Kan will feature yet another Light and Sound Show. Yours truly, Kan Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy2 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I'm planning comming up to KanChan to take those same photo's of the bridge. HDR might create some nice effects? I need to study HDR first though. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Splendid photos. Why did you choose such a low iso value? Is grain a problem on your camera at higher values? I would have gone for 400 or 800 if available, then you could use a shorter exposure in some shots to eliminate the movement. Long exposure in others for effects and fireworks. OK read the review. ISO400 is pushing it, but 200 looks reasonable for night shots. It will allow you to reduce the exposure time to 1/4 of the existing value and eliminate movement, or close down the aperture to improve depth of field.

Kan Win Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi astral, Thank you for your tips. I shoot at low iso value as I find that when the photo is printed 10 x 12 size very little grain can be seen. Will try your tips this year, as I will go to 3 or more shows during this Festival.
