Reviews

✭✭✭✭✭
"A lot of clarity. I really wish I had this book when I took my photography class. Although the class was very knowledgeable, it left a lot of holes and questions unanswered. Reading this book and doing the exercises inside, helped me more than the class itself. Keep up the great work!" - James McGee - USA

✭✭✭✭✭
"Making the complicated - Simple! I am not new to photography and by no means an expert but felt that I did need to understand more. It's simple to understand, covering real technical aspects that I had really struggled with in the past and just made it so simple to read the descriptions, also having excellent pictures and diagrams to help me understand more. 10/10 from me and I am now considering one of the online lessons too." - Richard Hawes - UK

✭✭✭✭✭
"A must have for any aspiring photographer or anyone who is looking to further hone their photography skills. This guide contains everything that you need to know and is presented in an easy to follow format using simple yet effective language. The tasks that are set out in the book are a great way to test what you have learnt and really help the information sink in. I have already seen an improvement in the photos that I am taking. Thank you for creating such a fabulous book, the only thing I would wish for is that it was made available years ago!" - Kevin Colborne - UK

Night Photography Camera Settings

As mentioned previously, you have to go fully manual for this type of photography but don't let that put you off as it's a simple set up. Below is how to set up your camera for night photography:

Shutter Speed - 30 to 60 seconds. As it's dark, a longer shutter speed will give enough time to let a lot of light to enter the camera. If you find your photography coming out too dark, increase the time, if your photos are coming out too light, decrease the time.

Aperture - f8, f11 or f 16. This is to create what's called a long depth of field and allows you to create an image that is sharp from the foreground to the background. As with the shutter speed, you can make your shots lighter or darker with the aperture. Start at f11 and if the image is too light, go to f16, if it's too dark, go to f8.

ISO - 100 or 200. This is to reduce noise. Noise in an image creates a speckly look with dull colours. To get a clean crisp and colourful night photograph, you will need as little noise as possible.

Set White Balance to Auto. Night photography usually has lots of different light sources with lots of different colours. Shooting in Auto White Balance gives you a good middle ground which can be adjusted as needed back in post-processing programs like Lightroom. Another option is to set the camera's white balance to Daylight. This will capture colours as they are, but I find the photos come out too orange when doing it this way.

Manual Focus. As it going to be dark, your camera will find it hard to focus onto something. To tackle this, focus onto something lit in the distance, then switch lens to manual focus to fix the focus point.

Shoot in Raw. This is optional but highly advised. Shooting in Raw will give you much more scope when, or if, you post-process the shot. Further details below.
