Colorful dream

Colorful dream
Three long exposure shots combined.

EDIT: My challenge was to extend the exposure time when shooting in dark. I used "neutral density" filter and slow ISO to get as long exposure times as possible. 15 seconds is unfortunately maximum on Canon G12. For this image the EXIF shows only 4 seconds, but on some of the images combined here it was even that maximum 15 seconds.

Wow! Amazing piece of work.
How do you do that in camera. Think we need a tutorial.

It is rather simple. Use the shutter priority setting (Tv) and choose as long exposure value as possible. Camera then should select best ISO and aperture for that. In some cases this is however not enough and picture may "burn" (overexpose) even in rather dim light. Therefore I used built in camera features called "neutral density", which kind of makes the sensor even less sensitive for light. Then the rest is just the choice of subject and way of moving the camera during the exposure. I suggest to try slow movements, and maybe even in intervals, during the exposure. Then combining number of shots you can make them look even more interesting together. The ultimate idea is to paint with the light =)
