6 Night Photography Tips

Key takeaways

  • Keep the camera still. Longer exposures need a camera that doesn't move (from 1:00).
  • Aperture mode or manual. Your camera can't decide well with extreme darkness and bright lights (from 1:00).
  • Large aperture. It allows a faster shutter speed (from 1:00).
  • Use the timer. It avoids camera shake from pressing the shutter (from 2:00).

FAQ

What camera mode is best for night photography?

Aperture mode or manual. Your camera isn't smart enough to decide what you want when a shot has extreme darkness and bright lights.

How do I avoid camera shake at night?
