GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL, NEW YORK, NY: Mesa, AZ-based travel and d adventure shooter Kerrick James (www. kerrickjames.com) was in town for a photo trade show, so we sent him into the wilds of Grand Central for a 5-sec photo. We never dreamed so many New Yorkers would stand still for that long. Tripod-mounted Pentax K20D with 12–24mm f/4 ED AL Pentax DA lens. Exposure, 5.7 sec at f/13, ISO 200.
THE FIV FIVE- SECOND SECON ECOND RULE Slow and steady gets the shot By Dan Richards Okay, relax, take a deep breath, and read carefully: This isn’t really a rule. It’s more like a fun formula. Exposures of about 5 seconds (that means 4 to 8, give or take a few) put you in a zone of unique effects. Crowds turn into swirling abstracts, nighttime traffic stretches out in neon ribbons, and moving water turns to mysterious ground-hugging mist. What’s so special about 5 seconds? Shorter, fractional exposures such as 1/8 sec can be annoyingly blurred. In longer exposures (a minute or more), moving subjects can disappear outright, and skies turn a bland, pale blue. The beauty of the 5-sec rule is that it’s simple to follow with just about any camera, other than the most basic. Here’s how to optimize your images. Hold it steady. Obvious. What makes multi-second exposures cool is the blur painted onto a sharp canvas. A tripod or other solid support is mandatory. That’s often easier said than done. “The main drawbacks are wind and rain,” says Roger Coleman, whose beach view appears on page 63. “Hoping the tripod stays still near the coast for many seconds is often wishful thinking.” The only advice here is to shoot a lot of pictures. And sometimes a tripod is inappropriate. “I almost never use a tripod; it’s just too bulky to carry around and is often prohibited,” says Guy Flâneur, who took the streaky image of the Washington Metro train on the next page. “The Metro permits POP PHOTO FEBRUARY 2009 61 KERRICK JAMES
