slow shutter speed on camera and the image is coming out white?
I am trying to take some images of water using a slow shutter speed and they are coming out completely white. I have tried different apertures and can't seem to make it work. My iso is 100, which im told is the best to have it on. I am taking the images in overcast weather so quite bright, but i can't understand what im doing wrong, and no i dont know a lot about photography im more into moving image, can anyone help?
Your shots are overexposed. If you are at your maximum aperture (say f/22) and ISO 100, the only thing you can adjust is shutter speed. I take it you are trying to get the "mist" effect of flowing water? You don't need 30 second exposures to do this... 2 seconds is usually more than enough. That may still be too slow on a bright overcast day.
The way around this is a filter over the lens. What you need is called a neutral density filter. This is a gray colored filter that is essentially "sunglasses" for your lens. It does not affect color, only the amount of light entering the camera. They are sold with various designations, all of which mean stops of light. A 2 or 3 stop ND filter should solve your problem. Any real camera store can help you with this item. You can also stack filters, using 2 or more if necessary.
