Night Photography Tip, from internet
Night photography is impossible to achieve
just by holding your camera, you need a steady base to place your camera. Going
back to the viewpoint, the ideal place I always look for is somewhere above the
ground level, find a stairway or on top of a small building with a balcony or
an open space.
This way it will give you a good vantage point to see a wider angle of
the city. Once you have set up your camera, you can start shooting with a
shutter speed of at least 15 seconds and try to experiment with various images
with longer shutter speeds.
Shooting
the Photograph
Once you finished with the camera set up and you’re now good to proceed
with night photography, first thing you need to do is to study your scene. Is
everything you wanted is included already? Are there enough zooming car
headlights? Are the buildings illuminated in an interesting pattern? Are there
crowd walking on the streets? Once you think the over-all scene possessed
interesting subjects that compliments each other, then you can start shooting
your photos.
Even though your camera is already mounted on your tripod it is still
advisable to set your camera in self-timer or use a remote trigger as this also
avoid unnecessary shake when pressing the camera button by hand.
What Makes
a Good Nighttime Photograph?
From my experience shooting
cityscapes at night (check Stunning
Examples of Cityscape Photography), the presence of streaking car
headlights and tail lights, the neon street and building lights plus the
nighttime available light all conspires to make a nighttime photograph
interesting and arresting to the eyes of the viewers. To capture engaging
streaks of car headlights and bumper lights, search for a spot which offers a
great view of a street with a busy traffic.
Set your camera to a long shutter opening so you can capture more
streaks of light. The trails of light that will appear on your photograph are
what make city nighttime photography very interesting. So be sure to also set
your ISO setting to its lowest number to ensure a sharp image. The available
light plays a large role in creating a good nighttime photography shot.
Sometimes an image appears at its best when set between inky-black
skies. Sometimes, a bit of light works perfectly, so images that are taken just
before darkness sets in are a must-try.
Night
Photography Final Tip
Experiment with the shutter speed
(check Ways
to Make the Most of Your Camera’s Shutter Speed), sometimes 10 seconds is
enough while some instances you will need a minute long exposure to capture the
right feel of nighttime scenes.
Always look out for the interesting angle with enough traffic and
background lights which balances the presence of light and compliments the dark
spots in the frame.
