Adrienne Posted September 8, 2023 Share #1 Posted September 8, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I was trying shooting the traditional Ukai fishing at Nagaragawa River in Kyoto a week ago. First I tried to shooting single with ISO 800, A 1.7, Exp. time 1/2 Sec., Exp value -2. The result was a blur. Then I took pictures with mid-speed continuous mode. The image was still far from sharp. I am wondering if the poor results were due to the floating boat or the poor visibility or my shaky hands. This is the very first time I have taken pictures from a boat. Are there tips for shooting from a moving boat at night? Any advice would be much appreciated.😅 Thanks a million. UQ2 (Unworthy of Q2) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesehead Posted September 8, 2023 Share #3 Posted September 8, 2023 Try a much faster exposure (1/200-1/500) and let the ISO go up as high as it needs. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
axio Posted September 8, 2023 Share #4 Posted September 8, 2023 Is OIS on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 8, 2023 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2023 OIS may help, but a fast shutter speed is essential Not only the motion from the water but also people moving, engine vibrations. At night near impossible. Either noise from exceedingly high ISO or motion blur. Shoot bursts and pick the best or even try pulling shots from video Does the camera have 4K?

jaapv Posted September 8, 2023 Share #6 Posted September 8, 2023 Come to think of it, a smartphone would be much better for this kind of thing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clasami Posted September 8, 2023 Share #7 Posted September 8, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Exposure time 1/2 a second???? That can't work on a moving boat. Even on steady ground likely to show shake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolyproductions Posted September 8, 2023 Share #8 Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) I was curious what was Ukai fishing, found this not wondrous but decent picture on Flickr (with camera settings below the pic). Indeed very high ISO and quite fast shutter speed. Edited September 8, 2023 by jaapv image removed for copyright reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalStanford Posted September 8, 2023 Share #9 Posted September 8, 2023 5 hours ago, axio said: Is OIS on? OIS won't do much of anything at 1/2 second exposure on a MOVING boat with all kinds of movements up and down, left and right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxen Posted September 9, 2023 Share #10 Posted September 9, 2023 You should have put your camera on a tripod! sorry, bad joke 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
