DSLR Nighttime Photography Tips Learn How to Shoot Low Light Photographs With Your DSLR Camera -Taking dramatic nighttime photographs with your DSLR camera is easier than you might think! Here are my top tips for creating beautiful photographs after the sun has gone down. Switch off the flash-If you leave your camera in Auto mode, it will try to fire the popup flash to compensate for the low light. Use a tripod-You will need to use long exposures to get great nighttime shots, and therefore you'll need a tripod. Use the self-timer-Just pressing the shutter button at the end of your exposure can cause camera shake, even with a tripod. Use a long exposure-To create great nighttime shots, you need to use a long exposure. I usually start at a minimum of 30 seconds and extend from there, if necessary. Remember you batteries- long exposure can drain your batteries quickly. so make sure you carry extra batteries if you are planning to take a lot of nighttime shots. Remember your depth of field- you will probably need large depth of field for your nighttime shots, particularly if you are photographing buildings and lit structure. Watch your ISO- If you've adjusted your shutter speed and aperture, and you're still not ending up with enough light into your photograph, you could consider upping your ISO setting. Experiment with A / AV and S / TV modes- If you want to help yourself learn as you go along, consider experimenting with these two modes. A / AV allows you to choose the aperture, and S / TV allows you to choose the shutter speed. WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT PHOTOS:
