http://www.clickherephotographytips.com Being able to take photographs at any time of the Day or Night really allows the photographer to add a certain mood to the subject that they are photographing.

This video has been produced to show you that regardless of the time that you take your photograph, the results can be significantly different from the harsh lighting at mid-day to the subtle lighting of early morning or early evening.

Perhaps you have seen a calendar where the lighting did not necessarily suit the location (mood of the shot), maybe it looked like the shot could have been taken out of a car window as the car drove by?

Please think about this

Could the results have been much better if the photograph was taken at a different time of the day, or; perhaps even early evening?

Not only is this video about taking photos at different times of the Day / Night, it is also about setting a particular mood in your photography.

I have created my videos to assist people that are either new to photography or people with a basic understanding of photography.

So, regardless whether you use a Digital Camera, a film camera or video camera there may be some skills within my presentation to assist you to become perhaps more passionate about taking photographs, or; recording video

Just before I go I a not an expert in photography, actually I am not a professional photographer as I am simply a person that has some skills that I enjoy sharing with others.

I hope that you enjoy the photography tips in all of my videos

  • Night TIme photography Question for Digital Cameras - I have a Samsung SL202 which has a night time photo option, if i were to do it manually, what are the shutterspeed and aperature as well as the appropreate ISO options to use if i were to photography a wide view of a city at night?

  • Answer Part #1

    This is a difficult question to answer, thanks for asking thou

    To take such a photograph in Manual Operation you firstly need to determine the ASA / ISO that you will use for the shot. The lower the ASA rating, the finer the noise or grain, higher ASA ratings result in much more noise.

    Unless you want your photograph to have a particular feel, use a lower ASA like 100 for example.

  • Answer Part #2

    Other things you need to decide are:

    Shutter Speed A slow shutter speed will allow you to record long light trails from vehicle lights, people moving etc.

    Aperture This will determine the amount of Depth Of Field or how large the focusing area (in front of and behind your focal point) will be in focus.

    White Balance The white balance setting for your camera should correspond with the lighting conditions that you are photographing in

  • Answer Part #3

    Correct Exposure The correct exposure is a combination of ISO /ASA selection, Shutter Speed, Aperture and White Balance. It is very important that all of these factors align correctly.

    I have made a few videos about the above, so go and have a look at them if you have time.

    You can actually work out your exposure easily using the inbuilt exposure meter in your camera You then simply transfer your Automatic meter readings into the cameras Manual mode.

  • Answer Part #4

    It is important that you determine what it is that you need to expose correctly when you take your meter (exposure) readings.

    I hope this answers your question?

    Cheers
