It's 2am and now what?

It's 2am and my part of the world is asleep ... time to head out for some night shots.

Do you have beautiful buildings and churches near you? Try shooting them at night without people around.


Here are a few tips

1. up the ISO to 800 or more.
2. take a tripod and torch
3. use the mirror lock up and a remote release if you have one. 
4. push the exposure right to reduce the noise in the shadows- you can always fix this up afterwards
5. think about how you want the finished product to turn out - what creative bend are you going to use
6. shoot in "raw" formant you get a few more stops dynamic range.
7. take a flask of hot coffee :-)

It is worth the effort ...

have fun! ☺
