Night shots

[idbl_fanatic]

What settings do all of you use for night/sunset shots? I took mine up last night for the first time, and it seems VERY blurry

Thanks

I left mine on auto, set the EV at +1.3 and they came out good! I had a few that were blurry, but I'm pretty sure I was moving when I took them.

I was wondering about night shots myself, as I took some the other evening at a park and they didn't look all that great. Gonna try these tips.

Keep in mind that night shots may not always be the best thing to do, as you lose a lot of details in the sky... This picture was taken 25 to 30 minutes after sunset, and still looks nice, and having a sky for the background to boot.

I usually set the lowest shutter speed that I dare, with no wind. (so far, anything under 1/5sec has been blurry)
I also use the compensation as needed until it looks decent on the screen.

Wow that is absolutely stunning! I really need to start trying some more night shots and get used to what the camera settings do.

Tried my hand this evening. Pretty happy with the result.

I love night flying, I do 80% of my flying at night. The spark adapts to all conditions quickly

ISO at 100, exposure at 2 seconds. Here's two different shots I took when testing this. First one has streaks across it because I was moving it before the 2 seconds had completed for the shot, which may explain your blurs. Second shot I took the night after. I left it for a few seconds to 'settle' in position, then took the picture and allowed the two second exposure to play out.

Very nice. I can't wait to try out long exposures. Did you use a filter at all?

Didn't use any filters on the lens. [emoji4]

I tried the long exposure setting and it worked out pretty well!

Wow, was this really taken with the Spark? If so, how? Did you use an ND filter?

From my eye test it looks good. It looks sharp enough to me.

yes. im using spark and no filter, but iso :100 and shutter speed : 2"

I just tried doing night shots recently. I am trying long exposure which bites with only a 2 second shutter speed but still turns out good. The ISO is set at 100.
