Photography Techniques : How to Shoot Night Photography

[liuhuaqiangtage]

so many nice lenses, but ur statements are all non-sense

[mannydeguzmanjartist]

Nikon 50mm f1.8 is not an awful prime lens, it is just cheap. In fact it is the best cheap lens next to nothing.

My higher priced 18-105 mm kit lens is more awful when it comes to sharpness :D

[MrGuitarman103]

lol



[id00bi]

Uhm.. there's nothing wrong with what he says. He's demonstrating how to shoot at Night with different Methods and 2 different Camera (DSLR and SLR)



[TheBrowniey]

Fast film, fast lens.. weeh..

I am so glad i saw this tutorial.. i noticed i have been doing it all wrong for the last years.

Thanks guys!

Btw.. next time don't look at the dSLR like it's the first time u have seen one. Maybe somebody would actually believe this shit.

[TheOperaRock]

this is fake, i saw the stings.

[Latinhas]

yay...First get you ISO to max the lower you shutter speed :D

Thats the way you do it :P

[Keyn0te]

you guys blow

[Tetinne357]

Im a mormon ! xD AHAHA WTF !!!!

[Lela4455]

He is letting you know the basics...very simple if you got confused by shutter and aperture then you probably need an even more basic tutorial.....And furthermore night photography can be very complex, it is ever changing.

[kaiwoon]

WTF?

Oh and THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKE COOKIES!

[sjphs]

@phonedork what are subject are you shooting

[sjphs]

why are you talking about high speed film when you can talk about high iso, it's a digital camera you're holding right?

[4flex4]

all i gained was that some guy who smokes takes sweet photos.

[abokwu]

lol @ :19

[witegetobro]

did he really say digital film?

[venzerable]

nikon? i dont like nikon. i love canon tutorial.

[k2kona]

you got the gear but all you need is a good old film course about the camera. i think your sort of missing the concept of aperratue etc....

[tomgreene121]

Sooo...You need to smoke a cigarette to get a good night shot?

[tocaciuvladandrei]

@tomgreene121 and you don't need a fast trigger finger if you have a fast lens!

[PbVeritas]

@pixuma True, but still it allowes the camera to be faster... ;)

[PbVeritas]

Sorry dude... a LENS can NEVER be "fast"...

[grantbeaudry]

??????????????????????????????­??

[boyniao]

i dont like how you drops that lens on the table

[Frshsince74]

Im refreshing myself with Night Imagery but this tutorial some how confused the the ish outta me !! I think even at some scenes this "instructor" looked a bit lost too..sheeesh !!

[eequalsmc4]

what is the name of the french photographer??

[HokieFanatic1]

@eequalsmc4 Henry Cartier Bresson?

[NikonTom28]

I use my 50mm f 1.8 and it´s awesome for low light Photo!

I also considering buying the 35mm AFS for my D60! Have you tried this lense?

cheers.

[deadkennedys909]

@NikonTom28 The 35mm d/1.8 I belive is really a 47mm on the d60

[SuperCrazydogz]

fail

[SuperCrazydogz]

fail!

[kamshaft83]

@DavidNartey27 the nikon 35mm f1.8 is a great cheap lens for beginners. im new to photography, and its one of the best investments i made for a lens to shoot low light, it was only like 194$. to some beginners that seems alot but beleive me its worth it if ur on a tight budget. it stays on my camera about 90% of the time cuz its perfect for the everday use on everything.

[abble0009]

ei please teach me i just want to know what settings or just tips on how to shooot at night like an event hmmm school party (night,outside) i have a nikon sb600 speed flash and a f1.4 50mm lens and a d90 cam. please thx..

[saviorhesus]

duuuude.....you suck :))



[Bmwe38town]

Hello ,I have a Canon EOS 3000n and I new in photography and I want to know is this a good camera .

Second , For taking a photo in Night for example city i take shutter speed of 10 seconds but aperture I don't know to set up . Do I need to set up apreture a smaller(4.0) or bigger (22) that is for example. And would i set up smaller iso or bigger for night shoot. Is anybody know I would preciate . Thanks a lot ... Tnx :-D

[kamshaft83]

@Bmwe38town the smaller the number apeture, such as 2.8 and lower is the best for low light shots, 1.4 is Great. which means the apeture is widest open. ISO is to boost the sensitivity to light, so u want a higher ISO, but u have to mess with it, cuz if u have too high an ISO there will be noise (grainy look) to it. but u can reduce having to use high ISO by lowering the shutter speed, meaning that u leave the shutter open longer allowing more light in naturally, if they bujuect moves itll blur

[heecabot]

i think the video has its good moments but it came ut a bit confusing and boring...

[FIGHTTHECABLE]

You seem to be unsure youself of what you are talking about....Try doing it more professional, so with less errr and drifting off somehwere to smoking cigarrettes.

[rorrt]

my photography teacher just says go to about iso800 or greater, do your shots at dusk, about 8:30 or 9:00. because if you go and take photos at 10:00, or later, you get blotches of light around the frame. where lamp posts, and other lights are.

i go to F2, or 4.5. and have some fabulous photos. a hit rate of about 15 out of 24. that are worth enlarging.

[romanovdb]

bOOOring zzzzz

[mattblack77nz]

@DavidNartey27 Stop your complaining. This video isn't just for amateurs, his suggestion to use a 1.4 lens was for everyone. A 50mm 1.4 lens is actually pretty cheap, and so is hiring.

[jvmiraflor]

Photography tutorial...FAIL

[DavidNartey27]

@jvmiraflor 100% Agreed!

...dav

[nofatchicks30]

@jvmiraflor photography tutorials are gay,you are gay

[BigBearPump69]

Someone kill me please! Now! This guy is a moron that can't even speak! I would rather drown a kitten then listen to another of his videos.

[chompychomps]

I don't know where to begin to disagree with the advice given here.

[heartandsouls]

FAIL!

[zodiac13h]

thx for tips

[alexgowers]

Man there are some confusing and wrong statements in there! You guys don't know how to photograph at all.

Night time photography is simple but you somehow made it so complex.

[souldrudaddy]

@alexgowers ur just slow...

[slor]

what are some examples of fast film?

[tonandada]

a fast film here refers to the ISO settings, generally in SLR cameras u need to have film rolls, 200, 400, 1600, the higher the digit the fast film it is, which means it can capture more light and info on the Film,

DSLR on the other hand have image sensors, which is digital film they have a high range of image sensitivity, so the higher the number the faster the film.

[TheBaconroll]

A small point. It is not true you get more light on faster films than slow films. The higher ISO setting mean a more sensitive emulsion allowing faster shutter speeds. Slower speed will have higher definition therefor more detail. High speed means grain or in digital parlance - noise!

[tonandada]

Yup u r right, correction i should have mentioned that the higher numbers r to catch moments of action, the higher number adds to noise which is true, but sometime you need to capture a high speed action, for which you need to have a fast shutter speed and ISO film or in DSLR the ISO if high can get the image with good exposure even in high action and low light.

Another example would be shooting in very low light and u cannot use flash as it may ruin, also you cant push the shutter speed down.

[kamshaft83]

@TheBaconroll agree, i dont like using flash, i like natural shots, so i got the 1.8 apeture, and jsut alter a slower shutter speed and iso. but try not to use an iso so high that the shot turns out grainy. so i try to slow my shutter speed jsut enuff that my iso aint high, but still try not to get the blur if the shutters to slow. so all that goes into consideration to make it a good shot. cant jsut have a super fast shutter speed, and compensate with the highest ISO or itll be crappy

[JimTBell]

@kamshaft83 One other thing you should be aware of and that is reciprocity failure. It is easy to get the two confused. This can give the same grain effect as using high ISO settings. Slow and fast shutter speeds can also cause the problem. You lose detail. With digital you increase noise. This can be reduced in Photoshop and other programs using noise reduction software.

[kamshaft83]

@JimTBell ya i meant to say a LENS with those apetures, not necessarily using a 1.4 apeture, cuz using a 1.4 ap wont give u the best quallity, it jsut makes it so u can shoot in low light. like i have 1.8, but rather try shooting around f2+. so gotta mess with all 3 setting, shutter speed, iso, and apeture, cant jsut go boosting 1 specific setting to teh max to compensate for the rest. in other words, dont have a apeture around f6 and try using a ISO of like 12000. inot sure if that makes sense,

[JimTBell]

@kamshaft83 Reciprocity is the film's inability to record detail at high speeds and on long exposures. It manifests in a lack of detail in the shadows or the highlights. Night shooting is complicated by a high contrast between the highlights (street lights) and the shadows. There is a simple to cure. On a static subject bracket your exposure four or five stops and use HDR in photoshop. Look for videos on Utube for HDR in photoshop. My favourite aperture is F8. Let the exposure do its own thing.

[TheBaconroll]

Both Kodak and Fuji have colour film up to 400 ISO. They also do black and white. Ilford does only black and white. Anything faster would be a special order. When using black and white it is possible to shoot underexposed by 1 to 2 stops and force process by developing the film for longer.Because you reduce the contrast you need to increase the developing time. However this gives a loss of detail in the blacks. It takes a bit of practise to get that right
