For those who are interested: the first image was a 32 minute exposure at f/4, ISO 100. The second was 8 minutes, f/4, ISO 400. Both were taken in the black of night

Hi,
I like the first picture very much, but how do you know that the exposure is 32 minutes?
Do you take a normal exposure and figure it out or is it just a lucky guess?
Thanks!

@Sam: I started with a wider aperture (f/2.8) and higher ISO (1600-ish) and did a couple of 30-second test shots. From there, I figured out the longer exposure by doubling my shutter speed for each 1-stop drop in ISO and aperture

Thanks for sharing! I’ve always wanted to give this a go! How did you work out exposure times? Fabulous results!

awesome!!!
They tell me it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday.
I’m not sure I believe them … it seems to me that 2011 is disappearing a lot more quickly than it was supposed to
Anyway, to help you out with your gift-giving on Sunday, we’re offering a limited edition gift card. Only 15 are available, and at $50 for a beautifully embossed $400 gift card, we think they’re a pretty awesome deal! (That’s enough to cover a portrait session and an 8×12″ gift print, with plenty of credit to spare.)
Order by midday Thursday for guaranteed delivery by Friday. Click here for more information and to order online.
And to pretty up the post, here’s a photo my own mother may never forgive me for.

ha, ha, I had to come and check out the photo. It’s not that bad, but I can see why she might not like it.
It’s a great photo though Luke!
One of my favourites from a recent family session.

Love it!!!
He checked twice, just to be sure.
He also told us there was a 6% chance he was wrong. But then he said he was very confident it was a girl.
So, as far as we’re concerned, this is the first photo of our baby daughter! Can’t wait to meet her in 20-ish weeks … we love her already
No name yet, and we’re not going to announce a name until she’s born, but whoever gets closest to the name we choose (first and second names) will get a nice prize
