If you are like most people, you have either never tried photographing night scenes, tried it once with disastrous results, or you had no idea how tricky it was.
Let's begin with how to take night time pictures of everyday subjects, like structures and scenery, and then we'll move over to fireworks.
Night time photography tips are valid for "low-light" photography conditions.
This one area of photography is considered by many as truly special and a "cut above" any normal daytime photographs.
Why would this be? Here is my theory...
If you've ever heard the expression "till the cows come home," you will never think about it the same after today.
Why? Because I'm going to use a farm analogy to describe the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, and proper exposure.
During the day, with 1,000 cows in the field, you only have to leave the barn door (aperture) open a short time before 50 cows wander in and fill up the feeding station (equivalent of enough light to take a picture). Stay with me, here.
At night time, with only 85 cows remaining scattered about in the field, you need to leave the barn door open a much longer time before 50 cows wander in and fill up the feeding station.
Photography works the same way. During the day, since there is so much light available, the aperture (barn door) only needs to be open say, 1/500th of a second to accumulate all the light your camera needs to produce a high quality photograph.
However, at night time, with much less light available, the aperture needs to remain open a much longer time period (from 1/2 to 30 seconds) to accumulate the amount of light needed for a good photograph. The night time photography tip summary is:
OK, that's really not all of "it," but having a tripod is a significant step. As an alternative, you could try sitting the camera on a sturdy support (if you can find one), but it would have to be free from all vibrations.
As a personal note, I prefer making the following types of adjustments myself rather than use the "Night time" setting on my camera. The reason being: the "night time" settings are locked in by the manufacturer and may not be ideal for each situation.
Therefore, if you have a unique situation, using the "automatically programmed" night setting may not generate the best photograph. Some night time photography tip, huh? On the other hand, you can always make Photoshop adjustments the next day to produce the perfect photo.
OK, end of my personal note and back to the non-cow night time photography tips. Without a night time scene mode, you need to get involved with a few settings. Let's first cover the...
These particular times offer up to a 90 minute window for some truly spectacular photo opportunities.
During these times, we need to be aware of the following night time photography tips.
You will then be able to create artistic silhouette photos like this as well as other stunning effects.
Before we move on to night time photography tips for FIREWORKS, did I happen to mention that...
So, here's your chance to do both; PLUS supply helpful critiques for others. And for EACH AND EVERY approved submission, you will get your very own web page that you can "tweet" about to all your friends and family.
In summary, you can view the night time picture of other visitors; get ideas to use for your own future photos, and supply comments and helpful tips for others. And what does it cost? Zip. Nada. Not a cent.
Why? Because I'm convinced our visitors have considerably more talent than they have the opportunity to showcase, and doing it this way helps everyone. So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to...
Submitting your Night Time Pictures is free and easy. Just fill in the form below, upload your picture, and hit the submit button.
