Night photography with 35mm SLR camera (beginner, help needed)?
I've got myself a lovely old, Minolta SRT101 camera with the original Rokkor 55mm f1.7 lens attached to it. I'm basically just after some free advice about shooting at night with it. I've got a tripod and one of those release cables. But when it comes to the settings, I'm a little confused. I plan on using 400 ASA films, the widest aperture setting (which is f1.7 on this lens) and shutter speeds like 1/60, 1/30 and 1/15 of a second.
With all these settings in mind and in conjunction with a tripod and release cable, should my shots be really crisp and clear?
I should also point out that the photos I'll be taking will be of city lights, street lit scenes, car light trails etc. so no flash required.
Thanks, a complete novice.
This is what I used to do. I really liked 25 ASA film, the higher the rating, the courser the grain. Shoot with the smallest aperture you can, 11 16 22. You can then make the exposures really long. 30 secs+ illuminate the foreground with a hand held flash or even a torch (torch painting)
Have fun!
