Slow Shutter – Mon/Tues

Two different days, not two different seasons. These photos were taken twenty-four hours and two minutes apart.

Slow Shutter – Days

More from my Canon S100. It has a "custom" setting on the mode dial that I've configured for long exposures. It engages the neutral density filter, zooms the lens out a bit, changes the focus and metering modes, kicks in one-third of a stop of over-exposure, and although it aspires to a fifteen second shutter speed it will shorten it as needed.

It's a clever little camera – my TS3, which cost about the same and is about the same size, needs to be bludgeoned into accepting a different scene mode. On the other hand, it's a strong swimmer. You can't have everything.

Slow Shutter – Nights

When I bought my little Canon S100 compact camera, I knew it would be better than my Panasonic for night photography. But I never thought it would turn out to be so adept at long exposures.

The photo of the food truck has that interesting pattern overlay because the camera fell forward during the exposure. And the one with the streetcar has two faint dotted light trails in it from the bikes that passed the streetcar's open doors.
