I have a Canon 4000D and I would like to take some long exposure photography. It only allows shutter speeds up to 30 seconds and I would prefer to have the ability to take shots that are exposed for 1 minute or more. Is it possible? I'm OK with using 3rd party software like CHDK if I have to.

Is it possible to adjust the Canon Rebel T5's exposure length beyond 30 seconds, and if so how?  Thanks in advance.

My wife has a Nikon D3100 that I've been using to film, but the battery typically won't last through long shoots.  I've gathered from searching around that I can't charge the camera with USB, but I wondered if there's ANY way to do that. It seems at least possible that an adapter could exist that would fill in for the battery and plug into the wall, but I haven't been able to find such a thing.  Is there such a product or technique? It would be nice to not buy a second battery, I'm really hoping for a "set it and forget it" solution.

Is it possible to lock Shutter speed and Aperture settings so dials can't accidently change them?  Last time I was shooting with flashes I accidently moved shutter speed dial from 1/200 to 1/250. Small black stripe appeared unnoticed on all following pictures due to lag in wireless flash trigger (a piece of curtain). I want to avoid this in the future by locking SS and A.  If it is not possible, how do you personally prevent these changes from happening?  I am using Nikon D600.  (I know about AE-lock, but it controls automatic metering in [semi-]auto modes.)

How do you set your camera in settings to TAKE photos that come out with the skin looking more tanned and bronzed than in real-life? Instead of changing the photo afterwards. Preferably Canon, but any other camera is fine.   Something like this:

When I try to take a picture using a slow shutter speed in daylight it is overexposed. How can I change the settings so it isn't overexposed?

Under what circumstances would you use aperture priority vs. shutter priority and vice-versa?  I typically don’t use shutter priority (ever) and favor aperture priority to try to get a max aperture with the thinking that I’ll get more light and a better low light shot. But after getting almost all my shots being blurry and the help of a couple questions posted here I learned I should use faster shutter speeds to get clear shots.  What my question boils down to is me trying to get a firmer understanding when to use one over the other, and why.  Thanks all.

I have a great passion for photography. I own a normal Canon digital camera of 10 megapixel. I would like to learn more about the various techniques, tips for taking great pictures so that I an enthusiast currently can become a professional someday. Please let me know how this can be achieved.

If I use a shutter speed below 1/30 on my Nikon P100, I get extremely dark images which are completely unusable. If I use the flash, it comes out fairly bright but just not natural.  My camera supports shutter speeds as fast as 1/2000 and as slow as 8 seconds. How do I use them correctly? What should I take into account before shooting, what else do I have to configure or use?

I'm to take pictures at a boxing match, probably under low lights conditions.   My plan is to set the camera on a fixed shutter speed, and the let the camera automatically set aperture and ISO. But how slow can I safely take the pictures. I hope I can bring my tripod, so it's not as much a question of camera shake, more a question of catching the action.  My equipment is a canon EOS 500D and a Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.

I have a Canon 20D. I'd love to take some photos of the moon and stars.   How do I get started?  I've search the web and the information is sparse and cryptic.   I'd like to know what equipment is the best for a beginner and what I should try taking a photo of first... besides the moon :).

I see a lot of questions about low light, and one of them which stood out to me was   All my flash pictures tend to turn out great, but my shots in low light without flash are always terrible   blurry bad colors under exposed   My setup is: Nikon D3200 with a 35mm f/1.8 prime.  After reading the above question, it seemed that I should have gotten a good photo, but below is what I got in RAW. Settings: ISO 800, 35mm, f/1.8 1/15sec.     Can someone give me a suggestion of what my settings should have been, perhaps? (Remember that I don't want to use the flash, so I can capture the ambient). It's typically situations or candid portraits like this I would be taking. Also any advice on what quick adjustments I could make if I get a dim result like below?  I don't want to ask for the subject to stand still until I get a great shot, so if I get a poor result on my first trial, what settings should I immediately switch to in order to hopefully get my second shot closer to a likeable shot?  Note: getting another body or lens would be a last resort if I run out of options.

Hai.  I have a question, I switched from Canon to Sony a while ago and I found out that if I shot bright places, like the sky, the cloud that is supposed to be seen clearly, looks like a blown-out highlight (like real crazy), as you can see on my picture.  I have to set a low exposure just so the highlight is not blown out, and it’s only happening on Sony, not on Canon. On Canon the object is visible, but the background (cloud) is still seen all just fine.  Do you guys know what to change on the Sony to get that good look? Is it the setting or the lens? (BTW, I’m using a Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens.)

For HDR, it's recommended to use auto exposure bracketing.  However, an advantage of RAW is the ability to adjust exposure.  Even Trey Ratcliff has said, .  My question is, what's the advantage of shooting multiple exposures as opposed to taking one RAW and tweaking its exposure?  (There must be an advantage, otherwise no one would bother with the significant limitations of AEB.)  I am looking for an explanation that discusses exactly what happens when one adjusts the exposure value of a RAW (is information lost?), and how that differs from what the camera records during a longer exposure.

Last night I took some night sky shots, and I've noticed that with long exposure times (15s, 30s) the time it took to store the images in the camera memory card (jpeg) took roughly as long?  The actual file size is fairly small at 1 to 3MB per file.  Any idea why this is?

Film cameras typically refuse to double expose on the same frame of film. Let's take the Olympus trip 35 as the example. They're cheap as chips and don't expose unless you wind on the film. What part of the camera mechanism do I need to "modify" (destroy!) to allow it to expose as many times as I want without winding on the camera.  P.S. I know there are cameras like the  that take double exposures without modifications, and that you can re-roll the film and shoot over it again. This question is more about how to modify a camera to get a double exposure, not how to achieve a double exposure.

I am trying to understand something that is really confusing me.  If I want to make a captured image brighter I can do this in many ways.  I can   Leave the shutter open for longer Make the aperture wider Increase the ISO Use a flash Do something else I have not considered   Which of these options is the right one?  How do I decide which of these things to do in which circumstances?

I am new to photography and I was hoping to go take some pictures of star trails this weekend. I just bought this camera this week and I realized that the highest shutter speed is 15 seconds. Is there any way to keep it open longer? I don't think this camera supports bulb mode.
