Photograph at Night
After the sun goes down and total darkness sets in, you have some wonderful
picture-taking opportunities available. If you??™re vacationing in an exciting
city, capturing images of the street lights and tourist attractions will provide
memories for years to come. In order to photograph night scenes, you??™ll need to
increase the camera ISO rating and/or use a tripod. When you increase the ISO
setting, you may end up creating a bit of digital noise. However, sometimes a
little digital noise can add to the excitement of a bustling night scene.
1. Mount your camera on a tripod. Alternatively, you can steady the camera using the
methods described in ???Shoot Low Shutter Speeds Without a Tripod.???
2. If desired, choose a higher ISO setting to increase camera sensitivity.
3. Disable the camera flash.
4. Switch the camera to auto-timer mode.
5. Switch the camera to aperture priority mode, and choose a small aperture (high f-stop
number) to achieve maximum depth of field. If your camera is not equipped with
aperture priority mode, switch to landscape or infinity mode.
6. Mount your camera on a tripod.
7. Compose the scene and press the shutter button halfway to establish focus.
