Hi Garry thanks for another great video. To stop your tripod from sinking into the sand use CD’s under your tripod legs (Feet). It’s much more stable in wet sand.
I’ve understood this for over 40 yrs. However you explained it so well that I’m actually thinking about it slightly differently. Superb pictures by the way. Subbed.
i have a 10 stop and this will really help on my next long exposure try. I have managed to get a few shots to work but I needed the real formula to settle my thinking. Thank you! I expect the next outing to go much smoother.
Interesting and thanks for that. I use the six stop or 6400 rule. Which goes: Set up camera. Select manual settings. Set ISO to 6400. Take light reading using preferred metering option The result in seconds at 6400 is minutes at ISO 100 at the selected aperture. Works for me, and as it is mathematical adaptable to other ISO e.g. if 15 stops too much meter at 10, attach 15 stopper and lengthen exposure by 50%. Just a thought. Hope it's useful
Thank you Gary, think I'll watch this a few times. Been wanting to do some long exposure jetty images where I live so now I can give it a red hot go, thank you once again.
Excellent Explanation. I used to teach people to think of a pipe with water flowing. The shutter speed determines how long the water flows, thus how much water(light) is obtained The size of the pipe is the aperature and thus determies how much light passes per time period. the friction inside the pipe is the ISO, how fast the water willl flow.
Another stunning tutorial, easy to follow and thats down to how Gary presents it. Son many video tutorials make things sound complicated, Gary has a knack of explaining things by keeping the process simple. Thanks.
Beautifully clear and well explained. "Remember, it's a science", says the man with a great sense of artistic photography. I'd quibble with just one aspect, f-stop numbers. When I first started photography, with a 35mm film SLR, apertures were always specified in this format: "f/2.2" or "f/11", ie focal length DIVIDED BY 2.2 or 11, so a 220mm telephoto lens would have an effective aperture diameter of 220 divided by 2.2, or 100 mm. This form of notation seems to have completely disappeared - are people today no longer capable of understanding what division means? Knowing that it's division by a number, it's obvious that the larger the number at the bottom of the fraction, the smaller the effective aperture, so it's no longer necessary to think in that convoluted and non-scientific way, that larger number means smaller aperture. Modern day sloppy thinking.
Thank you Gary, A superb, really easy to understand presentation and perfectly explained by yourself. Yes I will be trying this out with my 10 stop filter. Thank you again 👍
I absolutely love the way you pour your passion into your videos. You come across as completely genuine and I love that. You would make an amazing uncle!!! lol.
Great tutorial! I do a bit of long exposure photography myself, but never even thought of the "30" rule, despite it being so easy. Quick note: it's not always necessary to use a remote control in BULB mode. Some cameras, including many Canon, have a "bulb timer" option in the menu. That's what I use when I have to go above a 30" exposure. And always with a delayed shutter, of course, to avoid shaking.
Another fantastic lesson. I'm going to put it into practice and see what the result is. This looks so simple that I have confidence that it will work. Greetings from the Netherlands.
great video!! it's the first time I watch the easiest way por understanding the procedure for the 10 or 15 stops of light. I'll always remembre the number 30. Greetings from Catalonia
Hello Gary, I had to watch the video twice to understand the topic. But now, with several pauses during the video (and the mental translation into German), I have hopefully understood it. What I missed the first time I watched it was the exposure time of 2 minutes for the 15-stop filter. I only realised this the second time I watched the video. But it was also because of this video that I bought the ND32000 (15-stop) in the first place! Thanks for the video! Kind Regards, Rainer
Great explanation Gary 👍. I've picked up on your 1/8sec=2 mins approach from plenty of your previous videos, but I'm sure this will be really useful to lots of people who might find the process a bit confusing.
Really enjoyed watching your tutorials recently, I fell out of love of photography, but, you have inspired me to dust off my old Pentax K3, get out my Lee filters and start photographing landscapes again, especially long exposure, many thanks
Hi Gary, I bought a 10 stop filter but never used as I found it difficult. With your tutorial for sure i will give it a try in the coming days. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for that very interesting tutorial on long exposures. In the past few years I've been using an Olympus camera and this has a built in hack in bulb mode that is called live time. This allows you to see the image in development on the screen along with a developing histogram so you know exactly when to stop the exposure. Great for night photography too
I really like the clarity of your explanation and the simple 30th of a second to 30 seconds hack/heuristic with a 10 stop was new to me. Of course, it all goes out of the window with film photography, where reciprocity failure means those speeds get longer once you go over a second depending on the film. But then who shoots film these days? Oh hang on, yes, me.
Thank you Gary! The real trick is remembering your lesson at 6 am!
😁😁
Cheers to that!
Here's my 06:00 am hack.

At 6:45 am too....😏
Hi Garry thanks for another great video. To stop your tripod from sinking into the sand use CD’s under your tripod legs (Feet). It’s much more stable in wet sand.
Absolutely the most valuable video I've ever seen on this often mysterious subject ! Many thanks Gary !
Glad it was helpful!
I have to agree!!
You explained that in a really easy to understand way. Great video
Thank you 👍👍
Great teacher.enjoyed that, very clear explanation. Thank you.

It definitely will Mark. Cheers 👍👍
I wish I saw this video 30 years ago. This has to be the easiest way to under exposure. Brilliant Gary.
Glad it was helpful 👍👍
Interesting and thanks for that. I use the six stop or 6400 rule.
Which goes:
Set up camera.
Select manual settings.
Set ISO to 6400.

Works for me, and as it is mathematical adaptable to other ISO e.g. if 15 stops too much meter at 10, attach 15 stopper and lengthen exposure by 50%.
Just a thought.
Hope it's useful
This is brilliant thank you Gary I’m going to go out this afternoon and practice what you taught us .
Thank you Gary, think I'll watch this a few times. Been wanting to do some long exposure jetty images where I live so now I can give it a red hot go, thank you once again.
just moved to the beach and I'm eager to give this a try! your videos rock!
Great video Gary.
Thank you for explaining this in laymen terms and a lot easier to understand.
Brilliant Gary.

That’s a great analogy. 👍👍
That’s an interesting approach, point well taken. Thank you and subscribed!
Great video Garry and easy to understand tip.
Thanks Gary. That was brilliantly explained and will be very useful to me.

I think my way of explaining how the aperture works is much easier to understand 👍👍
Just tried the hack, bloody brilliant. Thanks Mr Gough 🙏🏾
Cool 👍👍
A terrific explanation as usual Gary 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😊
Thank you kindly
Thank you Gary,
A superb, really easy to understand presentation and perfectly explained by yourself.
Yes I will be trying this out with my 10 stop filter.
Thank you again 👍
You are very welcome and thank you
What an excellent tutorial. I think I have learnt something valuable. Many thanks.
I absolutely love the way you pour your passion into your videos. You come across as completely genuine and I love that. You would make an amazing uncle!!! lol.
Thank you Gary, no need for an app anymore!
Cool 👍👍

I’ve just moved from Canon so I’m used to using the bulb timer 👍👍
Great video and really useful for a project I'm about to start. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Gary, long exposure has long been a mystery to me, but no longer.
Thanks for sharing takes out the guess work for sure new sub
Just been doing a number of LE's and wish I'd watched this beforehand! Very useful Gary.
