Dear friends,

I am an old m50 owner and in my backpag there are three lenses: 11-22, 32, 55-250.

In the last trip I realized the beautiful 32mm hasn't IS..:D

I'd use a tripod for all of these, and manual focus.

The incoming trip I'd like to be ready for a kind of photography I'd like to shot:

Is it possible according to you to get something similar with our camera and these lenses?

In particular - do you have any nice tutorial to learn some skill to take pictures similar to the second one with the lamp light beam?

I tried with the 32mm but I couldn't stand so much as 20-30seconds (with ISO 400) without moving and at the end the beam burnt the picture...

Maybe have the jeep heading into the image rather than cutting off its nose.  ISO 1600 would have still given a good result with 5-8s exposure.  A less bright torch would have helped too, but I'm not a fan of phallic torch beams.

Any help will be appreciated

PS:

this is so far what I achieved to get with the 11-22:

That's really good, specially for an f/4 lens. The Samyang (Rokinon in the USA) 12mm f/2 is 4x as bright, easier to focus manually and stays in focus of the camera goes to sleep.

Thank you!
