High ISO and long shutter speeds

When shooting with long shutter speeds, a tripod is almost essential. When you use a tripod it is best to remember to turn OFF Image stabilizer. I also recommend trying different ISO's to archived your desired exposure.

When shooting with high ISO, you may want to go into custom settings on your camera and turn ON 'long exposure noise reduction' but in turn will take twice as long as you shutter speed to process you photo. Eg: You have a shutter speed of 30 seconds, This means you will have to wait 30 seconds to capture your shot, then another 30 seconds for the photo to finish processing and saving and you cannot take another photo in this processing period.
