As the light fades, will diminish even the thought of photography? If your way of thinking, then read on, as we will show that the shooting in low light is flooded with opportunity!
Images, either film or digital cameras have an ingredient ... Light. How can photographers get good pictures even in low light conditions? Using Flash would be a possibility. But the scene is dimly lit is so light - and this means that the potential for a great photo!
What equipment do Ineed?
Well, you need a camera and battery charging, that's for sure. In addition, a tripod is invaluable for long-term debt more than 1/30th second (1/60th in some cases). A flashlight, a decent lens, and think of a remote shutter release - means that the potential for slow shutter camera shake and blurred images even greater speed than usual (the alternative is to use a mechanism of self-synchronization with the trigger) .
What is white balance?
NightTime often means scenes illuminated by artificial light. This will inevitably give a color cast to your shots, although this can sometimes be enjoyable. There are many types of lighting (tungsten halogen, fluorescent) and they will all have different dominant colors - live with it! Try different settings for white balance, to see what effect it has on the final image.
How do I calculate the exposure?
This can be difficult. But with modern digital cameras you can use the resultsimmediately and then make any changes immediately. The instrument can lie! Be willing to change the settings (and give you a longer exposure time). Strokes at night can be very high contrast (light and deep shadows) - address the camera in a position with the ends of the exposure, you can change settings on their own to do until you are satisfied with the result! You may need to use the "B" or "Bulb" setting to keep the shutter open for a long time.
What can I do with photosNight?
Just about everything! The possibilities are almost limitless. We invite you to consider:
Construction
Lighting
Signs
Bridges
Cars / Vehicles
Homes Lit / pubs / shops
People (may be a motion blur effect)
Street lighting
Fireworks
Bonfire
Fair
Reflections in lakes, ponds
Look around for other ideas. Do not forget, if there can be no light at all, will be converted into an image.
To calculateRecordings, you can create a rule of thumb - see below for examples of gross exposure times. However, every situation requires a different approach, so expect that you can adjust things often!
Night (including F16 ISO 100)
Town / 20 sec
Signs / Lights 2 sec
Streets 20 seconds
Streets 20 seconds
Churches 30 sec
Fair 10 to 15 seconds
Candlelight 60 sec
Fireworks 1 60 Seconds
An interesting aspect of photography is the nightRecording tracks of moving light. Cars, buses, trains, bicycles are dazzling and tail lights, take the hiking trails throughout the image as if while I'm shooting with a slow shutter speed and movement by anything between 2 - 20 seconds. Try it! The same goes for rides. And do not forget that you can create your own routes with bright static objects by zooming in or during a long exposure of our time, or even tilting the tripod head.
Bracketing
Bya twist with, say, rather than stopping at a stop of exposure and overexposure are more than an image that is properly exposed to the capture. Bright light tells the camera to underexpose. Many cameras have automatic bracketing, so this can be done with minimal effort! You try to record some shadow detail without burning the highlights. If you take a picture of a scene at 4 second exposure, take the same scene with 8 seconds and 2 seconds. In thisYou will probably find the exposure you get.
Night scene "feels" different. Different places, different sounds, different places and different camera settings. Not everyone is an expert - we all have to experiment. With modern digital cameras, this is something that can be easily reached.
Have fun!
