Night Photography for Beginners | Low Light Camera Settings

Which camera si?

Thank you very much :)

Good tips but you just talk too fast...way too fast.

What's that doohickey on your backpack strap 🤔

A nice, quick introductory how-to for night photography.

I have a Canon Rebel T7i. Im looking for a good lens for indoor/ low light event photography. Can you recommend me a few which aren't that expensive. Thanks in advance!

Dude seriously this is an awesome video!!! Love the energy and how you filmed it! Two thumbs up bro!

So if you want to take a picture of a funfair during knight, you will only see light stripes? Because of the moving rides

The better option to cut down on shake is to use a wireless remote control to trigger the shutter, I have a wired remote for my Nikon Z6II but at night I never use it I set a 5-second timer and then make sure exposure delay is turned on. I've had a few tripods over the years and without a doubt in my mind the best is the one I have now, Benro Tortoise 34C with the GX35 head. It's brilliant.

My wife and I are going to the Big Five National Parks in Utah next week. I have a Canon T3i with a Tamron 18-200 lens. I'll be bringing my tripod to get some night sky photos. Do you suggest the lowest aperture and highest ISO for those shots?

If you are instructing it is a MUST to speak slowly, you lost me after 30 seconds

Really awesome video man. My wife and I just bought a Canon Rebel T7 for ourselves for a wedding gift to each other. Tried shooting at night and realized we couldn’t really get a very good pic without a tripod. I’m gonna use your recommendation on the handheld and try it out. Funny enough, when watching this video tonight I was trying to get the capital building behind the monument from the Lincoln Memorial. So pretty cool to see you in front of the capital

Hi,how to set my Canon Rebel T100 for a good pictures both for night and day ?

You have the PeakDesign camera clip on the wrong side. I doubt it you found a left-handed camera. Never seen one.

Thank you for the tips James Corden!

Great explanation thank you. Great that you show the camera menu as well 🙏

Thanks for this video which is v useful. In two days I am visiting my old school to take some photos. It's a Victorian neo-gothic building in England and it's being converted into apartments. It's a construction site at the moment and judging from some mobile photos taken by a friend it's pretty gloomy inside. I have a Panasonic Lumix lx100 II and a new tripod. I struggle to use the camera controls at the best of times and I've got one chance to get these photos right.

Hi. Do you use polarizers in night photography at all?

Thumbs up, great tutorial ❤

Slow down man. Are you trying to break the world record for most words in a minute?

Hello Andy which camera is best in low light for video recording. Mainly rain. Thanks

This was amazing. Crystal clear directions without all the extra blah blah blah like all the other videos out there! Thanks for the help

I LOVE how you break down everything! Thank you so much ❤

Thanks man, I was long overdue for watching a night photography tutorial and this was lean and educational. Loved seeing DC like this as well

So clear to understand and a lovely manner. many thanks!

Whay you speak so fast man. Very good tips.thanks

Yeeeeeeees! 🎉🎉🎉 Andy keep doing what you’re doing!

Interesting that you set IS to "on" for photos on a camera that only has IS (IBS) for video ??? Makes me wonder if the rest of your video is BS as well

why does image stabilization cause shake when using a tripod

Shot in full manual. You neglected to mention shooting at dusk to get colour in the sky. A blob of Blu-Tak over the eye piece for really long exposures stops stray light getting in the back of a DSLR. A cable release is much better for timing.

Thank you! Your video is very helpful.

Basically, shooting at night - With a tripod, allows you to shoot at a low ISO (for the sake of this it's artificial light created by your camera), which forces a long shutter speed to allow the light into the image. The tripod creates a stable platform so you can capture the image without any blur caused by shakiness.

With no tripod, you will have to shoot at a higher ISO and use a fast shutter speed (1/100, 1/200, 1/300 +). This reduces the blur to your image caused by the natural sway/shake of your hand and body, but also severely reduces the amount of light entering your camera. To combat having a dark image, you will have to shoot in the smallest F-stop number you can, to allow as much light into the image. (Shoot in bright areas).

This might be good for a still image of a wedding couple on a night time?? Rsther than trying to use external flashes etc

Yeah big no from me. The example handheld shot he shows, you would never use those settings. If taking on full frame 35mm sensor then the rule of 35mm lens 1/35 applies. So why would you allow your body to go as fast as 1/160??? Er no. Plus modern digital have IS so that gains you sometimes 2-3 maybe even 5 off shutter speed and still sharp. So you could dial speed down to 1/10 which means ISO is 500 very low noise if any on full frame sensor. Actually most modern full frame sensors are clean up say 3200ISO certainly 1600. There also a final issue. Reproduction. If you producing prints say A3 then that only needs about 12MP pixels. So if you using more then the down sampling can remove some noise. Note we only see the noise BECAUSE he zooms in. Grain used to be the old noise of film and again only showed if you put your slides/negs under a magifying glass. When I shot nights handheld I either used shutter mode and control ISO or going even full manual because I use a camera with OLED EVF that shows what the sensor is seeing. Finally as a photographer you got to learn to breath keep steady so you can get shots down to 1/4 even 1/2 I knew of a shooter could handhold at 1second!! And get sharp images. This is possible because IS system are getting better and better and removing shake. But if you really good you can do it on old film camera 😛

I find 8 seconds delayed shutter to be better, but ok it kind of depends on the lens size. But what is your experience with IS on, on windy days? We are still debating if it will counter the wind or just ruin the quality.

When shooting Christmas lights I recommend a shutter speed of at least 2 seconds so you can capture twinkling or flashing lights in the on position.

Why would you not leave the aperture to the lowest possible setting? Are you using a higher setting to increase the shutter time for the car lights. If I'm shooting distant city lights, should I use a low or high aperture to get the most crisp image? Thanks for the video.

Hey man what camera are you using in this video?

I came, I learned....Thanks for the tips.

What lens do you use when doing night photography?

Way to fast

What’s the blue colour tinge on the photos looks mad

Would u still recommend these settings even if you aren’t going to have any post editing to the Raw photos?

Will be taking my Nikon D3500 at Sherwood faire and will be doing night shots. Not familiar with nighttime settings, so appreciate any advice on nighttime, bonfire, fire spinners, and dark sky settings without having to do 2-30 second still shots as everyone will be moving around

I know im a little late to this video but what software do you use to edit your photos?
