"No Way! Night time pics
will give cool lighting,
nice shadows, various highlights
etc etc"
essentially I thought that everything that I read was "incorrect"... and what I learnt was sometimes you learn the hard way! Night time pics are MUCH more technical than daytime photography. Below are the shots I took at night for
Freedom Cafe during their Christmas show.
I really do you think as any beginner photographer than you have to "experience it" to "understand it!"
Go to a local coffee shop or restaurant +
just see if you can snap a few pictures for them-
offer the location your shots for their websites or twitter etc.. most likely they will say yes I'm sure! So here are a few things I noticed that can maybe help you when you go out on your adventure!
- Use some sort of support- tripod if you have one! If not,your make-shift DIY rice bag stabilizer ;)
- Using a tripod will allow you to shoot in a low ISO (ISO200) which provides your picture with more clarity and less "grainy-ness"
- If you do not have a tripod, because the lighting is not as good you will have to use a higher ISO (ISO 800-1000) This will make your picture clearer but much more grainy.
- These are more "my aesthetic" but maybe they vibe with you! I loved playing with reflections...like reflections off glass tables, reflections through the windows outside, using mirrors...they are easy tools to make your pic a little more intriguing- however you do end up with a sort of "blur" that I love, maybe you do not... play around!
Thats really it you guys!
I found nighttime was a
lot more difficult +
frustrating so I will
have to give it another
go with my "new-found"
knowledge! Bahhhhh!
