With a Nikon D60.

Going to take a few tonight.

What settings would you use for a bridge shot long exposure?

And a reflection of a castle in the water.

I'm going to have a read up later on tonight about cam settings, and what to use and where etc, but for now i just want to go out and see what I come back with

Thanks

Low ISO
Long Shutter Speed
High Aperture if you need a longer shutter speed

Oh and set you camera to timer mode so you don't wobble the tripod when you press the shutter.

Metering is difficult due to the range of light (sun=very bright, foreground=dark) Wang it in manual mode, meter it somewhere around the orange sky, play with shutter speeds/aperture until you get one that looks right.
