Tooj 17 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's something I've never gained any experience of doing but I'm getting my mate's tripod off him (whey) later on this week so thinking of doing a few night time shots of maybes SJP all light up perhaps. Just the usual stuff for now. Are there any tips that I need to be made aware of compared to daytime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 8 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm planning an evening at SJP to get some night shots soon before light nights start but I would say dusk is better than outright darkness. As you pointed out, tripod is a must as you will use long exposure. If you shoot in aperture it will give you a long exposure so need that stability. If you shoot in shutter for a deliberate long exposure (light trails etc) it's also needed. Filters won't be much use. You won't need a high ISO (risking grain) as again just let the camera do long exposures. The only time you need to hike up the ISO will be at dusk if you want a shorter shutter speed. There is white balance but I assume you shoot that on auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 f20/f22 for starburst effects from street lights aswell, probably ISO 200 aswell. Buses are the best for trails and theres plenty of those passing SJP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
