Thanks for all your help!

Sorry, but this will end up a piece of coursework too, so posting it on the Internet could be deemed as inappropriate. UK exam boards suck.

Oh, crikey.

We’ve done very little on the theory side of photography, truth be told. The subject is focused, sadly, on investigating the work of artists and trying to emulate it.

My camera is a slightly-more-advanced-than-point-and-shoot Fujifilm (HS20EXR) and I’ve not really looked that much into the more advanced settings.

I believe varying the ISO would be pretty much within my grasp, and as I understand it, that would also change the shutter speed. Would varying that be sufficient?

My plan, as it stands, is to set the camera up with a wall power supply on a tripod, and use the remote to capture some photos as the sun rises and as it sets. I’d hoped to set the focus manually and to just leave it. Would that do?

I’d love to be able to experiment more with it, but it’s a mock exam piece to be submitted by next Tuesday, and my chosen scene is out of my grandparent’s window – an hour’s drive from home.

Ah. Thanks, I appear to have misunderstood my teacher.
Could you possibly provide a link to some in-depth tutorials on this method?
