Night Time Photography Tips

When it comes to night time photography, then slow shutter speed is the main aspect. For more, here are things to be considered:

1. Timing. If you have take pictures outdoors in the evening, choose a time just after sunset, because at this moment, the sky still had a nice glow. Especially if you want to add texture, light in your photos. Consider also the time when the full moon. With the proper shutter speed settings, you will produce nuanced picture quality beautiful night.

2. Equipment. Use a Tripod. If you don’t bring with you, consider other tools solid enough to withstand the camera. It would be better if you use a remote shutter or shutter cable. Because no matter how well a camera with low shutter speed needed to take pictures at night, to get supplies as much light as possible. For that, we are very susceptible to camera shake.

3. Exposure and Aperture. Use a slow shutter speed to allow more light to your photos. In night time photography, you want good exposure than half a second or more, but really with two or three seconds would be much better. While the aperture, a site that includes Digital Photography Basic tips on choosing a digital camera with a further recommends that the duration of exposure, you should use a smaller aperture to prevent any over-exposing of a stationary light

4. ISO number. In general, you want your camera to use a higher ISO number to compensate for the lack of light. But you can try ISO number of 100 with shutter speed of about 3 second.

5. Turn off Anti Vibration feature. Because we already recommend using Tripod, the best Anti-Shake function disabled. Because if the camera is stable, these functions can provide an automatic rocking effect when anti-shake function is trying to fight something that does not exist.
