I have a film camera and a digital point & shoot camera. Is there anyway for me to take pictures of it? Thanks :)

This is no way from experience, but I would try a long exposure or high ISO speed.
Use a tripod for stability, and maybe just experiment with all kinds of settings on your cameras.
That's what I plan on doing. [=

You need a camera with a bulb or time exposure setting, and a cable release. Find a place away from city and street lights. On the film camera, use an ISO 400 film, that is more sensitive to light. Set the lens to it's largest aperture, and put whatever camera you are using on a tripod. Set the digital camera to it's longest exposure. Most digital cameras have a 30 second exposure limit. You can use exposures of 15 to 30 minutes on the film camera, though typically about 5 minutes should work nicely.
ReplyDeleteFilm might do better than digital,
ReplyDeleteU will need tripod with either one.
There is a setting for such on your digital camera.
With the film use a sync cord or trip cord if U have one, so that U R not touching the camera during exposures. Start with largest lens opening and try bracketing at 1 second then 2 sec. 3, and so on.
1.Your settings would depend on the phase of the moon. If it is full moon or near full moon , don't expect much.(too much of fore ground light)
ReplyDelete2.For how long the showers are going to last?
If the conditions are ideal, (dark night) set your camera on a tripod , pointing towards the sky, with focus at infinity, aperture f22 and beyond , release mode: quick response remote, shutter speed: bulb(time)
Observe the showers and keep clicking.
P.S: If the showers are of short intervals , adjust your aperture. (reduce the f. number)
