Night photography settings
I am quickly heading out to Richmond to see my first C-5 and was wondering what are the best settings to use on an EOS 350D Canon to get half decent shots at night.
Any quick reply's would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |
Just have a play round Matthew. Set your tripod up and mess around with the exposure times and see what comes out the best. Best thing about digital cameras over film;)
Have a good one mate! Hope you enjoy it. Tim |
Unless Canon has changed their optics much in the last couple of years, long exposure times at night give you some wonderful star-shaped flares around lightsources.
Depending on the composition of your photo, getting those flares just right can add a lot to your photo. But as mentioned above, if your subject is stationery, you have time to experiment with different settings. |
Taking photos at night of a military base...
Good luck on that one. I hope you make friends quickly |

I must have been to both Richmond and Williamtown a few hundred times now openly taking photographs and only ever been asked once what I was doing. Even then the guard was only interested in the camera I was useing as he was about to buy a DSLR himself!! |

Matthew,
Try something like F8 for about 1 to 4 seconds depending on the amount of lighting around. The Nikon D300 has a "Long Exposure Noise Reduction" setting that might be worth playing with if there is a Canon equivalent, although it is normally for much longer exposure settings. I would also use the timer to take the shot so your hands do not move the camera at all. |
