Using the histogram at night should not be considered as there are too many singly bright points, and too many dark areas in the shadow. It will never give you an indication of a proper exposure. You should simply be looking at the image and deciding what you like. The histogram is a guideline, and can help in certain situations, but trying to live by it will reduce the impact of your creativity. Google my website "bcphoto dot biz" and you will see all my work.

Hi..i have been watching your video and I must say it is very informative!

But i have a question to ask, for night shot, which white balance setting did u choose? Because for mine, every time i shot mine, the color of the picture will tend to be so yellowish.

@delta1912 Custome. And then I tweak it later in post process because I shoot in RAW.

For those situations with little or no light how are u managing the focusing so that it is tack sharp? Some images you could light up with artificial lighting, focus and then turn it off but there are many other situations where you can't do this. I can't seem to quite get that sharpness in on my shots. I am turning the autofocus feature of my Canon lenses off and using manual but there has to be some trick to get those nice images to come out more clear.

Thanks,
