Having trouble with light trail shots....

    Took my Fuji FinePix S5600 out last night and couldn't seem to get good light trail shots. They just came out with a white light covering the whole screen. Couldn't make out anything. Is it that my aperature was too high? I didn't get time to change it because of my battery.
    Cheers...

    You'll need to stop it right down, i.e. increase the f number up to 22 or 32 or what ever it goes up to. Also drop the ISO to its lowest setting.

    Stick the camera on a tripod and put in it manual mode.
    Start with exposures about 1/4 or a second and see how it looks. Increase this up through 1 to 10 seconds from here.

    Was messing about with light trails for the first time yesterday. I think with a bit more practice there's a good shot to be had.
