Showcase themes are based on capturing opportunities within the previous month or two. Time of year has been considered regarding available light conditions. Example: The August meteor showers are a great opportunity for September’s showcase. January’s showcase, Bright Ideas is based on using flash or other light sources when outdoor lighting conditions are limited.
It’s About Time – September Showcase (Members may submit up to 6 images)
Get your tripod ready! Now is the time (pun intended) to work on your shutter speeds and long exposures. August is a great time of year for meteor showers and star trails. Maybe try some light painting. Fall storm brewing? Get ready for some lightening!
TIPS: Try BULB mode with an external trigger. Long exposure NR (noise reduction) set up within camera if option available.
