First try at using H5 at night.









Thanks for looking. C&C welcome.

I've not yet done any work involving multiple images, so didn't even think of it. Must get to that one of these days.

All of the shots were done using ISO 80 at F5.

Exposure times:

1 - 1/2
2 - 1/4
3 - 2
4 - 1.3

That being said, when I opened them on the computer, they were all darker on the screen than they had looked on the LCD (some more than others). Had to boost both brightness and contrast in all of them. All are slightly sharpened.

A suggestion for you: Do a Google search for "Opanda" and download/install the free Opanda EXIF viewer. Then you can right click on (some) images to view the EXIF info. Not all images here have EXIF data attached, however.

Thanks again.

Second shot has alot of atmosphere, and the third and fourth are nice and crisp. Those were short exposure times, to yield the more dark, night feel. You also may want to toy around with some longer shutters, maybe 3-5 seconds, to pull in a bit more light just to go for a different look (not a better look, just different!).

I do shoot night shots both ways - darker, shorter exposures, more accurate to real night, and lighter, longer exposures to show detail and bring in a more light-painted night feel.

Good experimenting so far...nice start for your first H5 night shots. I'm finding after 6-7 months with the cam, that it really is a great performer at night!

And thanks for the "how to" thread. Much of that I knew, but haven't been able to find that "experience" thing for sale anywhere. Guess if it's not on E-Bay, you have to build your own. LOL
