which is your most common long exposure photography mistake???
I once took a trip with a good friend of mine to photograph some waterfalls. It had to have been a 5+ hour drive to get to our destination, and when we got there, we BOTH had forgotten our tripods. So, don't make the mistake of forgetting your gear.
@@allengillis2636 🙂
Not compensating for changing light...took me a while, but I let go of the "always trust the calculator" mentality, and allowed myself to experiment and start to trust myself.
👍
I bought a dog!😱😱
Hi Attilio, i've not seen a video from you in over a year?..i hope you are well and healthy, and living your life the way you want.. i hope your not like me, and have put work before everything and photography has been forgotten. all that Gear sat around Doing nothing, i'm nearly 2yrs into this cold place now, but lately, i've started to get that itch again, and i'm now going through videos to give my that final push and inspiration!. that calm voice of yours, and your videos always inspired me.. me & EVERYONE NEED YOU BACK!!!..
Thanks mate!

Attilio you gave me the calm in this world of KZhead, each video of yours is a sincere and harmonious conversation, I am sorry not to see more new videos. The important thing is that i hope everything is very well on your side, a hug and take care of yourself.
Why are there no more videos? I was struggling with the genre of photography I wanted to specialize in until I started watch Attilio Ruffo and thanks mostly to Attilio I now exclusively do landscape and cityscape photography and I love it. Thanks for everything and I hope nothing is wrong in your life and you can start creating again soon!!

Loving these videos, makes me want to go out and take more photos and experiment.

Another wonderful video! You have such incredible production value on all of your videos. It’s more than just a lesson, it’s a break from reality for a while. A great lesson, beautiful imagery, soothing music, you nail it all. Thank you!!!
Thanks mate
I get really inspired watching this video and look forward to planning a long exposure session. It’s also comforting to know that the value of making “mistakes” is to get better ! I like it.
👍
Attillo, the last shot was outstanding. Great info. Thanks.
🙏
Ottimo video Attilio!!!
🙏
A cup of coffee and Attilo Ruffo on the IPad 🫶🏼
😍
Still missing you Attilio!
I hope you are well Attilio. You have been missed. I like your videos very much.
Thanks for checking in Marcella! All is good….😊
Beautiful area and beautiful photos!
Thanks 🙏
Thank you very much, Attilio, for these reasonable explanations, especially on the compensation of changing light. I was really surprised that you choose the factor 4 for your last picture. Lesson learned 👍
🙏
Once again you made an inspiring long exposure tutrial, many thanks and by the way a very handsome hair cut 😉
😍
Great video as always Attilio, very informative. I’m guilty of most of those mistakes 😊 but learning to minimise them. Still most important thing is to get out and try these techniques and enjoy it. Keep up the great work
🙏
Great video that last shot was insane 😮 thank you
Thanks
Good morning! Or, for you, Buona giornata! Always a pleasure to see your videos and great advice! I hope you and your family are doing well.
Thank you!
Short and succinct , thank you
🙏
Hi Attilio, thanks for the volume of work which you have already shared. You are one of my most favorite landscape photography teachers. Glad to see that you are responding to messages and doing good. All the best and wish you good health 👍 ❤
Thanks mate 🙏
That was a very 'engaging' video. Thanks mate!
🙏
So nice to see you back on KZhead. You were really missed.
Thanks
Boom! I've missed you! I see that I have a lot to catch up with 🙏🏻❤️📷
Thank You :-)
Perfetto, Attilio.
🙏
I hope you are ok, I've realy enjoyed your informative video and the pictures you produce.
Another brilliant video Attilio! I still sometimes forget to close the view finder, there is nothing worse than not realising you have forgotten until you are sat in front of lightroom!
I know… :-)
I could say that I never made mistakes. I started to make long exposure photos after watching your videos, thanks to your advice and the passion that you transmit it was pretty easy to deal with this wonderful technique. Thank you Attilio !
🙏
So beautifull bro, nice shot good job 📸📸📸
🙏
👍Your videos are Very inspiring. ... I am going to dabble in Long exposures, interested in the end results for the photo and controlling the lighting....Thank you. ... different from my concept of action photos.
Thanks
Very inspirational and I decided to start long exposure photography seriously this winter by Lake Mjøsa. Unfortunately I bought a NISI filter pack before these wonderful Kase filters were recommended by you, so I've to stick with them in the foreseeable future. Tanks a lot for your advice!
Nisi are very good filters too!
Hi Attilio, getting into long exposure and loving it! I'm in south florida and took some cool ones the other eve at our pier, it's so ironic you mention don't rely on the app, I started to but after adjusting the time the pics were so much better.... Great video and thanx again.
Thanks mate
Thank you so much
I add and follow you on Instagram and wrote some messages you too
Superb video very helpful
🙏
Mr Ruffo thanks for this very helpful video on long exposure. Please on sea coast long exposure where exactly do you focus?
my own frequent mistake is not to push the exposure long enough! I must use more the calculator to fix the length of the exposure...
Miss your videos! Hope all is well with you! Merry Christmas!
Great video Attilio and love the last image. For me the biggest challenge is compensating the exposure time based on the reducing light. Interesting you opting to go for a 2 minute exposure when the app suggests 31 seconds. I have been increasing the exposure time but only by about 10-20% so helpful tip to push the exposure time out by quite a lot more.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing and again good choice of music ! My biggest mistakes are indeed to forget to close my viewfinder and not compensating for fast changing light. I lost the small rubber viewfinder obscure tool for my Canon and could not find it anywhere online except for big money. I instead bought some spare eyepieces, took the rubber part of one and glued some black plastic on it so I now have the same thing. I also put a small metal ring through it so I can easily attach it to my filter pouch.
Thanks
I love my Hoya Pro ND 10000, easy 7 minutes of exposure even in midday, also usable to photograph the Sun too.
Cool
Attilio, thanks for these great tutorials, I am really enjoying these, and I think I could improve my style of photography by your advices. How do you perform a panorama long exposure? I think thanks your talent that would be a great video. Thanks in advance. Chris
Hey Attilio, hope you’re ok, missing your videos, your content & delivery is excellent. It’s been too long. Hope you come back soon.
We need you back brother !!!
Thanks
🙏
Another outstanding video, this video. This video made me curious about Lake Como, I would like to visit for a few days in the near future, and take the opportunity to take some photos. From a photographer's point of view, what are the places in Lake Como with more potential for landscape photography.
Hi Attilio, Thank you for the insightful video, inspiring, as always... Could you by any chance give us more info on the exact Kase filter system/kit (Wolverine ? Skyeye ?..) you're showing us on your video ? There is so much selection within the brand that it would help your viewers (and me) quite a bit. Will mainly be used first on 20mm f/1.8 with D850. Thank you...
Hi Attilio 👋🏽 Newbie to LE photography here! I know you said not to trust the app 😅but just out of curiosity when you are entering the test shot/base settings into the app - if you are using a 10stop ND + 3stop GND would you enter into the app as it being totally as 13stops or 10? Thank you for your time and these videos they have made me feel a lot more competent to go shoot
Adios Proffessor = I have waited and waited for you to come back, just assumed that you have given up = thank you for your past videos, I always got something out of them, byr
We still miss you and your inspiring videos.
Nice video ❤️
Thanks
I recently switch to a mirror less camera, but I still own my Nikon D850 and I use both for long exposures. My only major mistake is forgetting to turn off the in body stabilisation for my mirrorless camera. You have to turn it off and also turning off the lens, stabilisation as well.
Hello Attilio. I noticed only that of your favorite lenses only the 20mm is an FX Lense. Do you have a reason for your preference? Thank you.
hi excellent video and do you have the link for the nd filters please and is it kase you said cheers
Is it bellgio at the beggining? that's such a beatiful place! You definitly save me with your amazing video! At first i was always using a really slow aperture like f22-32 and the sharpness is just a disaster.... BTW i have another problemo is whem i review my long exposure photos there're always some noticeable black points there, i think it might because the dusts in the 20yrs old lens... How can i reduce this problem as possible? Like using a faster aperture? Thank you so much and buon lavoro!🥰
Great video!!! I miss you, bro. hope is going good on your side. see you soon.
I have an Canon EOS R with RF 24-105 F4L and RF 14-35 F4. I also bought 6 and 10 stop B&W ND filters and Manfrotto travel carbon tripod. I really want to get RF 70-200 F4 and it is on sale now. However, I want to keep it 2 lenses only for travel (Going to Iceland in December). I think I can buy RF 70-200 F4 and sell RF 24-105 F4L. However, RF 24-105 F4L is such a good lens! I find using using RF 14-35 much more often though because of the close focusing distance for selfies with the significant other. RF 24-105 F4 has a minimum 45cm focusing distance and my arms are not that long LOL. What a dilemma - or just forget about RF 70-200 F4 and stick with what I have.
THANKS ;-)
great video, lovely spot at lake como. what do you think about filters from breakthrough ?
Didn’t try them yet!
Bravissimo come sempre! Ho venduto la Griii per comprare un Tamron 20 per la mia a7iii dopo aver visto i tuoi video!!! Devo trovare un buon filtro nd e poi inizio da un lago nelle mie zone (lago di fimon in provincia di Vicenza, niente di che, ma per provare va bene)
👍
Excellent tips to keep in mind when using this technique, especially adjusting the aperture. In the images shown, where was your focus point?
Thanks
Definitely not going to complain about the warmer weather we are having in late October. Your Grandmother was 100% correct, I am using cheap ND filters and will need to upgrade, so I spend money on crap and still have yo buy quality. Did this with a Viltrox adapter for my R6, and still had to buy the Canon adapter for my EF lenses to work, will I ever learn?
😂
Great tips and video as usual! How do the Kase magnetic filters stack up against the Polar Pro Summit filters in terms of Quality in your opinión?
Thanks mate! Quality is very comparable.
Attillio i hope you are okay, we look forward to your sequel videos❤
thank you for your inspiring videos - could you tell me where on the net you can buy the smart lockable viewfinder you showed - thanks in advance
could you tell me where on the net you can buy the smart closeable viewfinder you showed - thanks in advance
@Attilio, man where are you? I was watching some landscape photography videos and suddenly remembered about your channel. What are you up to these days? Pls Create more contents
Thanks mate. Soon…
I think you are using the new Heipi tripod that you have just reviewed. How is the experience so far?
Hi Attilio another great video, Q how do you set the white balance? Do you use any software other than adobe? Thank you
I set WB to auto and adjust it in post…
Thanks Atillio, I made the mistake to buy cheap filters in my learning process, big mistake, by the way my favorites towns in Cuomo are Lecco and Bellagio in spring.
:-)
2 minute image - stunning
Thanks
On top of my 10 stops, I hesitate between a nd or gnd soft 3 stopd
Hello, can you please explain how to focus correctly in landscape photography? For example on your 20mm lens. Perhaps many people would be interested in this as a separate video. Thank you.
Yes. Me also. Please upload a separate video on focusing
Sempre interessanti e ben fatti i tuoi video! Grazie Attilio per condividere con noi il tuo workflow. Ma avrei una domanda : come fai a decidere il giusto tempo di scatto della lunga esposizione? Dal movimento dell'acqua, dalla velocità delle nuvole o altri oggetti in movimento? Grazie mille per la risposta. P.S. Scusa se ho scritto in italiano ma in inglese farei una figuraccia
Grazie! Decido in funzione dell’effetto che cerco e del movimento dell’acqua!
