Last week I finally mastered how to take a picture with light trails! Now I am really excited for the state fair to come so I can get some cool shots of the big ferris wheel!
| Camera | Nikon D5100 |
| Lens | 50.0 mm f/1.4 |
| F-stop | 13 |
| Shutter speed | 10 seconds |
| ISO | 100 |
That looks so awesome! I have the 50mm lens, too. I’m totally going to try this sometime!
That is awesome!!! Wonder if I can do that with my Rebel Ti3?? So cool!!!
If you can change the shutter speed, I am pretty sure you can. These types of photos use extended exposure. I set mine to 10 seconds. You have to make sure you are still too, so put the camera on a flat surface or use a tripod. I bought one of those shutter release cables and used it to take the picture just to ensure there was no movement of the camera.
it’s all in the shutter speed, jennifer. i have found the best way to learn is to play play play
That turned out so great. I’m looking forward to the ferris wheel shots!
That looks amazing. I love the trails.
Wow what a cool pic! Thanks so much for sharing! happy holidays! xo xo
That is so cool! I don’t know anything about photography so I’m majorly impressed!
Hey that is so cool I have a 5100 how do you extend the shutter speed. I have never been able to figure that out? Thanks

Hi Mike, you have to use the Command Dial to change the shutter speed. This is the main control that allows you to set and adjust the shutter speed, white balance, ISO, etc.
Very cool! I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this. I’m going to pin it too!
