With the camera being steadied by the tripod, the shutter can stay open as long as you need it to, which means there is no need to bump up the ISO (and risk bumping up the noise in your photo).<br /><br />I was given this tip a few weeks ago, and it was such a DUH! moment for me, I thought I would share :-)<br /><br />And I have to say, that little tip has made a huge difference in the clarity and crisp-ness of my photos.Lisa Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448074595697802591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-58081371974065499652014-12-11T18:18:12.629-08:002014-12-11T18:18:12.629-08:00This is a terrific post, and a lot of work for you...This is a terrific post, and a lot of work for you and inspiration for us.

I tend to shoot with a wide aperture, but your shots have inspired me to stop down a bit. wonderful!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153095149911030832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-38987889448757246202014-12-11T09:57:56.313-08:002014-12-11T09:57:56.313-08:00Wonderful lesson, Linda.

I'm sure this tutorial will be helpful to lots of people who would like to create this effect. I have to say, I do know that opening up my lens creates the round, blurry bokeh that I love so much but I don't think I really thought about the opposite, the stopping down of my lens to create the starburst effect. I am going to have to give that one a try!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.com
