What about ISO? That´s a really important element in this type of photography.

@cheryl1358 do you have it on auto or manual focus? you may want to try manual focus, it is possible it is too dark for auto-focus to detect a subject. switch the camera and the lens to Manual focus. if you have tried that, then im not entirely sure...

Just purchased my first DSLR, I really cant wait to test out something like this!Great video for the beginning photographer. All your videos have been super helpful and informative! The lack of technical jargon in your videos has enabled me to learn faster than reading an entire book on how to do the same thing. Thanks!!

cheryl1358 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

@mcdesign2401 He's basically saying you need to keep the shutter open long enough for the ambient light to reach your sensor. Then he says you have to keep the camera still. If you have the shutter open for 2 seconds, all the light that is in front of the camera will reach the sensor. And if you are taking a long picture and the camera get moved at all, that light will reach the sensor differently.
