LOW LIGHT Photography

LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

PARAMETERS REMAIN the same   Shutter speed, Aperture, ISO

HIGH ISO = HANDY  BUT comes with HIGH NOISE


LONG SHUTTER SPEED  Balance ENOUGH LIGHT vs BLURRY PIC's


SHUTTER SPEED = 1/ FOCAL LENGTH    eq. 200m = 1/250ste  50mm = 1/50ste

STABILISATIE  IS  or VR   Camera Shake NOT for Subject Motion


MOVING OBJECT : RISK MOTION BLUR is more present at night.

EXPERIMENT ! TAKE SHOTS ! THINK DIFFERENT !


Keep ISO as Low as POSSIBLE
AVOID underexposure  NOISE IN DARK AREAS is BAD

HOW HIGH CAN YOU PUSH YOUR ISO ???

NOISE REDUCTION ?   LOSS of DETAILS

LONG EXPOSURE NOISE REDUCTION

EXPOSE TO THE RIGHT !!!  ( reduce exposure in PP - reduce noise )
= CLEANER SHADOWS

DARK SCENE  Use AVERAGE METERING and CHECK ---- ADJUST EXPOSURE


COMPOSE - FOCUS AT NIGHT  Raise ISO  TEST SHOT 
CHECK EXPOSURE and COMPO   ADJUST ( RE-CALCULATE)
or LOWER ISO and set f value in AV priority
A/F OFF after focusing
