Canon EOS - Chris Bray Creative Tutorial: Low Light Photography Tips

[defrule]

I have a question on resolution. If I had a 18MP camera but reduce the setting to 9MP say for low light conditions. Would this make any difference since each pixel will now be larger at 9MP rather than 18?

[Masterkizz]

@defrule Reducing the megapixel setting of the camera will only change the final output size of the image ie. an 18mp image is 5184x3456 where as a 10mp image is 3888x2592 the individual pixel size does not change.

This vid was made for Canon?

@beyoguz Well, it is made by us at Canon Australia. The concepts are pretty general though. Let us know how we can help further. Cheers, the Canon team.

I have a canon 30D and I've tried night photography..What settings do you think i should try out for it.. I can never get the sky to be as dark as i please?

[CanonAustralia]

@yungrik00 Experiment with the aperture and the ISO settings. Set your camera to BULB and vary your exposure times as well. Thanks, the Canon team.

@yungrik00 A quick search via your favourite search engine will give you some tips on night photography. Let us know how you go. Cheers, the Canon team.

I am an amateur photographer, that has just started. I own the Olympus e-450, but theese tips are really great even for a different camera. Thank you Canon for theese videos - I have learned more from yours then from any others. Greetings.

So I guess an ISO 1600 is sort of standard for anyone to use?

[CanonAustralia]

@gforceram Hello there, thanks for your question. It really depends on the circumstance and if additional light is present. Cheers, The Canon Team.

@gforceram no brother, if you have enough light then 100 iso is standard and best for any exp. keep in mind brother the higher the iso more the grains you ll have.

[gforceram]

@waseem5420288 Yeah I realized that when I was using my uncles HTC Android camera and I put the ISO at 1200 and it was soooo grainy lol but when I put it at I think 100 or 200....I can't remember which one it was but it was really dark and so the picture was normal.

[LittleMachines]

need some comparisons with the same subject, but still good.

[scrumpalumpagus]

You're cute.

[febiang]

i hope the photographer used the same subject with different ISO values to more effectively express the differences..but otherwise,the video is still helpful..thank you :)
