2008 gdsf
A few of the 500 photos that we took at the 2008 Great Dorset Steam Fair. They include some of our first attempt at night shots using digital cameras. All the photos were taken using a Fujipix S9600 with a tripod.

The night shots are excellent, I always try and get night shots when possible myself. Have you tried a really small aperture and an even longer exposure, I took some night shots in St Marks square Venice a couple of years ago with about a 20 second exposure, it was crowded with moving people at the time, but because of the long exposure they all disappeared and left the scene eerily empty. It might not work as well with traction engines and fairground rides but may be worth a try. Have a go at the fireworks display at Pickering with this method, that does work OK. Here's one from 2006 http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/q...006-011-01.jpg Phil |

A lot depends on the camera, mine is an oldish but good quality Canon G5. It has pretty much all the functions and modes that an SLR has, but in a semi-compact body. I use the manual mode for these shots, and also turn off the auto focus, when you have a very small aperture setting to allow the long exposure, things stay in focus better because of the greater depth of field (I think I got that right !!) Its a bit like the old pin-hole camera idea. Phil |
Yes. Small aperture = greater depth of field + longer exposure. I use the AV setting and make sure the flash is turned off.

I think your photos are very good. Keep posting all of them as you have been in various different threads.
Am I the only one that thinks the only thing that really spoils photos you're trying to take is people? Obviously we're all in other peoples way when they take photos, but it'd be brilliant if everyone would quickly just vanish. I can only dream of having camers similar to yours but I'll just have to wait and save for many more years. Joe |

Point of interest, my camera can now be bought for. Point of interest, for the 2008 GDSF photos, the camera - Fujipix S9600 can be bought for £190 and has been described as:"In terms of design and style the Fuji Finepix S9600 is as close as you will get to a digital SLR without buying one." The other photos were nearly all taken with a cheap Ilford Sportsman 35mm or a Pracktica SLR 35mm camera |
