EOS R6 Mark II Settings for Colored Lights in Night Pictures

[Cantrell]

All,

Happy 4th of July! I have a R6M2 with a RF 24-240mm lens. Our house has permanent attached colored lights underneath the eaves. I took pictures of the house after we turned the lights on red, white, and blue. Each light had a series of 25 lights. The white lights were very bright and overwhelmed the pictures. ISO was set at Auto, shutter speed was 1.5 to 3.2 seconds, and F stops ranged from 5.6 -11.0. The ISO at one setting was 25600.

Any suggestions on correcting the settings so that the white lights do not overwhelm the pictures. Going to be taking pictures tonight.

Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions.

All,

Took some pictures tonight with my Sigma 50mm F1.4 lens. Have not used this lens in the last several months. Depending on my settings the exposure scale was -3 or off the scale. How important is the exposure scale when taking pictures in low light or decorative lighting? 

Thank you.

Reese
