Taking photographs at night or in low-light situations can produce stunning images---but only with the proper shooting techniques. Whether you're capturing moonlit landscapes or photographing friends and family in low-light surroundings, by simply adjusting the shutter speed, exposure rate and other camera settings you'll create striking photographs. While the following steps have been written for digital cameras, the same principles can be applied for film cameras.
Instructions
- 1
Set your camera on a tripod to stabilize the picture. Since low-light photography requires longer exposure rates, it is essential that your camera does not move to prevent image blur. Spend time finding different vantage points before altering the camera settings.
2Alter the shutter speed to 1/8 of a second and then gradually work your way up to a three-second shutter speed. After taking at least three practice shots with each shutter speed, determine which one fits the look you're trying to achieve.
3Use manual focus because some auto-focus features on modern digital cameras do not operate correctly in low-light or nighttime photography. After you focus on your subject, make sure the exposure bracketing is set to automatic. This will ensure that all light will be properly processed by the image sensor.
4Activate the cable release option on your camera so you do not have to press the shutter button. The minimal vibration caused by pressing the shutter button can ruin long-exposure shots. If your camera does not support remote operation, set the camera timer so you do not have to touch the camera while it is capturing your images.
5Take as many photographs as possible before changing positions. This is necessary because low-light photography can be tricky. Not every picture will contain the proper amount of detail or light.
