Evaluating the shots

…I always like to take a look at the finished…shot and just evaluate what worked well and what didn't.…We did a lot of experimentation on this shoot with different settings.…And this particular scene is one of…the most experimental, so there's plenty to learn.…The longer exposures here in the ten second…range or so create nice streaks of energy.…The real short exposures, while noise-free, just don't feel that special.…Where it becomes problematic are some of the longest exposures.…While the lighting looks super cool, you see that it's…just impossible to get rid of the noise in the sky.…

And it becomes particularly problematic as the sky gets darker and darker.…So with these long exposures, which work…best for night time photography, it appears to…me that the sweet spot is somewhere between…10 and 15 seconds for this particular camera.…Depending upon the censor size and low light performance of…the camera you're shooting with, you might get some other options.…Overall, this feels like a viable technique that I could use…
