I was messing around with my camera (Canon Rebel 400xti), and I set the shutter speed to 5 sec last night, turned off the lights, and moved a lighter around to look cool. Now, when the picture came out, it showed the light moving around (plan had worked).
Now, when I went out in the daylight today to do the same thing at the river, the exposure was PURE WHITE! I could not change the exposure on Manual mode for some reason. This would not work on any modes! I wanted the rocks, land, etc to be in focus, and the water to look soft and flowy, with a slow shutter speed.
I AM NEW TO DIGITAL SLRs, please be nice!
How do I do this effect in the day time, without having the picture come out pure white? like what aperture, exposure, ISO, etc. do I set??
