#Creating photographs with lights.

After getting the settings right I got some images that I am very happy with. To get the subjects in the right place I opened the shutter on about a 10 exposure then moved over to fire the flash manually when the subject was in the correct position.

My experiments.

For our purposes an image like this there are lot’s of visible moving elements, the students walking by and lot of additional detail. I experimented with using different exposure and timimg. 

I have planned to take some photographs  in a busy public place and I decided visitto Kingston station. I wanted also to experiment with different lights, exposures and timing.

*I used long exposure/timings

* Use a small aperture, for example f22 

* Experiment with multiple separate exposures

* In some of the photos i change the ISO 

.*I used available lights instead of flashes
