Appreciate a guide of taking selfie photos like The Intersection. How does one balance allowing longer exposure while allowing a selfie while in it. I tried posing still for duration of the exposure but seems to fail during my trials.

That's a good suggestion, I think I going to write an article about that and share it later here. biggrin.gif

Generally, the key here actually is to take two different photos with the same composition but different settings.

Let's take an example:

Photo A (for foreground) - longer shutter speed for a bright foreground.

Without moving your camera, you capture another shoot.

Photo B (selfie) - shorter shutter speed (maybe around 15seconds) and boosting up the ISO.

Then just blend the person from photo B into photo A, DA!DA! Done! ^^
Of course, you can choose to use Photo B alone instead of blending, but then will have a result with much more noises.

Hope my explanation help. wink.gif

Thanks for the above. Thus, fair to say that I won't be able to get such a shot without post processing them? I lean more towards photos that doesn't require processing. Although I am aware processing can enhance how a photo looks, I find them too unreal, despite the beauty of it. I have seen some where minimal PP are done, which is already at my limit biggrin.gif

I'll give your idea a shot one of these days.
