I feel like Im a very tech savy guy and have been flying pretty well with the I1...I just still can't figure out how I can do manual photography with the I1. I know I click the little slider button right below the record button, but all thats there is shutter and ISO. How are people getting long 2 second exposure shots?

Hi Tyler,

I don't think thats possible at this time. Even as stable as it can be, I would think you'd get a lot of movement in your shot. Unless thats the look you were going for that is.....

Just my thoughts on the matter.

2 second exposures would result in a lot of blur. Particularly from a flying aircraft.

I have seen some long exposures picture I think in a group on FB.. but i dont know how the manage to do it..

If the wind is calm enough, you can take over 1 second shots.

Here is a guy who claimed to do an 8 second exposure with the Inspire-1.http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/s ... amp;postcount=16958
The photo he posted seems to bear out his claim.

There you go, If the conditions are just right... you can do it

Here is another night time photo that a guy on the RC Groups forum posted.
Judging by the light trails from the cars on the highway, I would guess somewhere in the area of about a 2 second shutter speed.

For those who may not know, to have full control over your ISO & Shutter speed for long exposure night time shots, you need to activate the camera's Advanced Mode on the pilot app (located a bit under under the shutter button) & once inside select Manual Mode.  Then you can dial in whatever ISO and shutter speed you wish, up to a maximum of 8 seconds on the shutter speed.

Wow -- I stand corrected. Although I still have my doubts (the physics seem impossible for such a sharp 8-second exposure), I accept the challenge to try it!

I've done a 4 sec. exposure time night shot of my small village and some photoshop pimping afterwards.

Here the result:

I've been trying to get these settings for a long time, thanks for the info and hopefully I can find the advanced cameras settings.

8 sec exposure.

edited later in photoshop.

I am amazed by these long exposure times. I've gotten good results at .4 sec. but not longer. I guess I'll try on a very calm day.

Here was a shot I took in Philly.  I think it was about a 3 second exposure.
