Vass coughed up some electrons that declared:

How you drank the cream in celebration :¬

Well done for putting some of the others up too - fascinating collection, but it must have been a bit messy. Knowing how far milk goes when you spill it - jug falling out of the fridge, etc,, how did you keep it off the camera ?

I used to take pictures like that when I was at school, I took some of a pellet emerging from the barrel of an air-gun with a 35mm SLR, shutter set to "B" small aperture, dim lighting, and a flash with a home-made sound trigger.

How do you go about doing this with a digital camera? Is there an equivalent of the "B" setting?

Graham. coughed up some electrons that declared:

My old Canon Powershot will hold open for 15 seconds - that's probably the best the can be hoped for until you get higer end.

Dumb question - what is a "PAN meet"?

[dmc]

Yeah, it's the bulb setting :)

Certainly on canon digital SLRs you just set the shutter speed to Bulb and it's just the same. I presume others have the same.

Certainly my Nikon D70 has.

If it's in a B&W film context, it means panchromatic Ie. the stuff you have to handle in the darkroom in total darkness (nearly all modern film)

Film commonly used to be orthochromatic and was blind to red light so it could be handled in the darkroom under a red safelight

Portsmouth At Night, a huge group of like minded urban photographers that like to shoot at night.

I've never tried it but even my sub compact Panasonic digital has a Starry Sky setting in which there is the option of 15, 30 or 60 second shutter speed.

Yup, I answered my own question by wandering through a few more pages of your photos on flickr - one had a title that gave the game away.

Some very impressive shots there may I say!

[Vass]

Cheers John, apprecaite the comment

Impressive? Did you see the "first venture into portraits....."? Work of a natural genius I reckon.

[Graham.]

Looks like I gave you a dumb answer!

[Vass]

wow, thank you very much

[NT]

Yes, some very good stuff there. I dont know whether you'd like a couple to go on the wiki, eg the lightbulb & phono plug shots?
