Morning YouTube I'm here at Finchale Abbey near Durham
and I'm here to try and shoot some long exposures using the Panasonic fz82.
So far it's certainly trial and error, I've got the camera on the tripod
set to very slow shutter speed using an ND filter and I'm still trying to get the bracketing correct
to make decent exposures. Pretty much this is the composition I'm after I've got the Abbey
in the background across the water there and I've got the camera set up to take that shot.
I've got the camera set up in manual mode and down to one second exposure and
the ISO set to 80, keeping the shutter speed nice and slow, trying to get that motion out of
the water, nice smooth water that's my plan. I'm also trying another method which is to shift the
camera into artistic nightscape mode and that allows you a little bit longer to take the shot.
So as ever, despite the fantastic landscape, I found myself doing a little intimate
landscape shot as normal. I'll show you that set up in a moment, so yes we've got this
little collection of leaves and the swirling water behind.
and I'm trying to shoot that in a portrait format, and again the ND filter on trying
different settings and different shutter speeds apertures to see what kind of shots I can get.
The next shot is looking up the river I've got a little bit of running water this way,
some lovely autumn golden trees just in the sunlight in the background,
it's probably one of these photographs where I wish I'd brought the Nikon
but I've got the fz82 that's set to ISO 80 so hopefully the images will be nice and noise free.
This is pretty much the view I've got and I've just got this running water here in
front of me and that's pretty much the shot I've got on the back of the fz82.
So the wind's picked up now and the light has changed a little bit, it's not quite as bright
as it was, so I'm gonna call it a day and see what I've got when I get home and get these on
the computer. So now this poor fat ladder is gonna climb all the way up there and a bit more as well!
It's a little windy now but this is an absolutely gorgeous location
and I'll definitely have to come back.
Yep more stairs!
Good cardio though one thing from today it's all been about experimenting and learning to use
this camera in a different setting than I would normally do, to show a different type of
photography than that I normally do, and I'll urge anybody who has this camera to give that a go.
It's easy to leave it in automatic modes and complain about the quality of the images you get
but unless you try to get the best out of the camera then you won't succeed.
So if the photos are any good you'll have seen them by now and if not
nobody ever gets to say this vlog at all.
if you've enjoyed this video please consider subscribing to the channel giving me a thumbs
up that really helps the channel a lot and I would appreciate it if you would. All right
I'm off to see if there's a defibrillator at the top of these stairs
and catch you again in the next video bye for now
oh bloody hell, my knees
