Whatever the object, aiming at night it takes skill and adequate technical. Else if you want to immortalize the event at an indoor concert or a show with poor lighting conditions, the rules remain the same. Here are tips for taking pictures at night, as quoted from PCWorld, Monday (11/14/2011):
1. Camera & Tripod
Almost all modern digital cameras able to shoot objects at night as well. Use manual exposure mode, or if not available, select the night scene mode. Plus, you must have a tripod because of the exposure that takes a few seconds, keep the camera becomes obligatory points. It is suggested to use the self-timer or remote control to trigger the shutter.
2. Capturing the Moving Object
If you want to catch an interesting scene in the night like a train that was speeding or a busy street in town, then make sure you have a manual mode on your camera. Use to set the aperture to the middle setting (like f / 8) and exposurenya 4 seconds.
Check the LCD after taking a picture. If the initial exposure picture looks overexposed, then lower the exposurenya into 8 or 15 seconds.
3. City Lights
You can make more bright city lights with a large aperture. Was also the background can be made such that the shutter speed is slowed between 1-30 seconds.
4. Digital Noise
Digital noise is a problem separately in night photography. High ISO will increase noise and long exposure, was also with a low ISO. Fix this noise when you process the photo in photo editing software.
5. Consider Shooting in RAW Format
Shooting an object in the night by using the RAW format will be very beneficial. RAW mode will produce richer colors than JPEG images. You can edit photos and 'remove' shadow detail where this is not possible in JPEG mode.
6. Concert or Performance Capture
One of the things that make it difficult when taking photos at concerts is cahanya that are too dark. The first thing to do is increase the ISO as high as possible even though he will bring up the digital noise.
7. Fast Shutter Speed
Fast shutter speed that is important to capture the scene in a dark environment such as a club or concert hall. Therefore the high ISO is needed because it will make the sensor more sensitive to light and the photographer can get a fast shutter speed in the darkness.
The easiest way to get a faster shutter speed is to use the Program mode. Program mode gives a chance to normally has the fastest shutter in low light. But if you set the shutter speed manually, dial in the speed that you can handle, usually at rates 1 / 15 or 1 / 30 sec.
8. Ready, Steady - Shoot
If you've locked the exposure, then it's time to act. Hold the camera with caution (if you do not use a tripod) to minimize camera shake. Take photos repeatedly when the object is still silent. Do not try to take a photo when, for example, the guitarist was across the stage as his picture will be blurry.
