Soup to Nuts: Pt. 1: Long Exposure Photography - The Gear

Описание: This is the first in a series of a complete journey into long exposure photography from beginning to end. In this first video I will be going over some of the ancillary gear you will definitely need and some of the gear it maybe worth considering for long exposure photography. Aimed at beginners with minimal experience with a DSLR camera or more experienced shooters but new to shooting long exposure photography.

The gear I have and use featured in the video.

For any brand of camera:

Tripod

Arca Swiss Quick Release Plate (if you don’t use an L bracket) you will need this to attach the camera to the Arca mono ballhead

Filters - For use with a lens that takes 77 mm diameter filters, check to see what diameter your lens takes:

Cable release for Nikon D800 (check which cable release is compatible for your camera):

NIKON MC30 Remote Cable Release -31.5 inches
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...

Cable release for Nikon D7100:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C...

Wireless Shutter Releases. As I stated in the video you MUST make sure that you can hold the button down so it can operate the camera in BULB mode AND THEN allow you to take your finger off the button and wait for the exposure to finish so you can just press the button again to close the shutter, just like how you can lock down the shutter release button on a tethered cable release. You don’t want to have to have your finger down constantly on that wireless remote trigger-button when shooting in bulb mode.

Wireless shutter release for Nikon D800 series:
RFN-4s Wireless Remote Shutter Release for Nikon DSLR with MC30 Type connection

Wireless shutter release for Nikon D7100: (sits on top of the camera in the flash hot shoe)
