Comparing lights

[IR772]

took a pic with those settings and it comes out like this out side?

I marked it as funny but it was a difficult choice between that and informative as it's certainly not useful.

Perhaps, Fail?

Perhaps I will have to revisit the camera settings originally specified. There is certainly scope to use a higher exposure value while still being able to render low amounts of ambient light as darkness. When I originally tested it out, I used a 36W LED light source, so might have over estimated the typical light output of a more 'average' bike light. I'll take another look at this tonight once it is dark outside.

Soundwave, do you know the wattage (power consumption) of that bike light?

SW, was that taken using your NIkon D3200?

You need to get yourself a nice and simple point and shot, such as my Fuji FinePix XP70

Fenix BT20

I'm actually having a re think about the replacement camera for the stolen one. I might go for a bridge camera such as the Sony Cyber-Shot HX400v

the light is this and used my d3200

You get on better with just one of these, cheaper and more efficient. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50-PACK-Candles-tea-lights-tealights-8-HOURS-LONG-BURN-nightlight-/231573045267?hash=item35ead44013:g:yycAAOSwEeFVHrqf
