Capture Night Landscape

Night Capture

At night, we need more light to produce a clear photo. But in fact, not all places have enough light, even most of the more or less light. So, the sensitivity of the sensor or film forced hard. This fact led to the result of shake or blurred images. The ability of auto focus becomes difficult to focusing the object.

There are some tips how to shot photo at the night:

1. Use a tripod

Some experts recommend a tripod to help when shot at less light or under normal shutter speed (1/15s - bulb). This way in order to avoid shake that cause less focus object. Tripod is also useful for shooting with old lighting and can reduce the vibration.

2. Use a remote control/cable release

Remote control or cable release has function to avoid touch directly on the camera body when shoot slow speed that might cause vibrations when recording data. Using combination tripod with remote control or cable release is very efficient at shoot night photography even more so in view of light.

3. Use the flat field (alternative)

Maybe at night we find a particular moment which is very interesting, but we do not carry a tripod or other equipment that support shooting at night. So, we can try to find a flat filed as a substitute for the function as a tripod like wall or fence. Select the field you sure that field is stable or not swayed. If it is convincing, set the settings as necessary in accordance with purpose. For example, if the manual setting (M) for landscape photo at night try to set the aperture on f/9 - f/22 ans shutter speed set to adjust. Enable the timer menu as a substitute for cable release.

Good Luck, Hopefully useful!
