Hi all,
I've been doing quite a few day to night holy grales and would like to hear some of your experiences in changing shutter speeds during sunset.
What I am encountering is that the subtle orange tones in the clouds tend to blow out dramatically when I do a 1-2 fstop decrease in shutter speed.
That results in a major task fixing up the 2* frame to the 3* frame, sometimes impossible to fix at all.
What is the biggest steps you do during that delicate time span from when the sun completely vanishes?
Basically I'm trying to get a handle on how to change the fstops in that very "day-to-night" moment without having to deal with major issues in making the 2* and 3* "the same".
I have the feeling I need to be a lot more on the ball during that period and make more adjustments that are more subtle.
Any technique or guideline is welcome!
And sorry for bringing this topic up once more, I know it is a much discussed issue but I have yet not found the precise answer I'm looking for.
My setup consists of a Canon EOS 7D with a Tokina 11-16mm.
I also don't touch the ISO sensitivity because I don't like noise :-)
Looking forwards to your response.
Thanks
Damien
