hello and welcome back to GMax Studios today we're going to talk about how to
shoot in low light. That's a question that a lot of people have been asking me
and I have really not had the opportunity to go and address it in full
so I decided to take the view right out of my window and show you how shooting
in low-light is done. So let's take a look.
So this is the view outside my window and as you can see that there are a lot
of festival lights apart from the usual lights in the buildings and since I'm
shooting video right now I'm shooting at 1/50th of a second at f2.8 at ISO 2000 but when we are
taking a photo we will not be using these settings because while taking
photographs we can go for extremely long exposures and therefore we don't
have to boost the ISO so much and yet capture the picture. So I have my camera and the
first thing that you need to do is shooting in low-light while capturing
cityscapes or landscapes is to keep the camera on a tripod. So that having been
done I'm using a 17-35 lens which is set at approximately 24 mmm and I'm using an
aperture of 5.6 because most of the people that use kit lenses will
have this aperture available to them. So I am
at 24mm on my 17-35 lens at an aperture of 5.6 and just by prior
experience I'm going to shoot it at the very lowest ISO which is ISO 100
and do manual shutter speed of 20 seconds so let's do that
subset the focus point do almost infinitely because the huge landscape
outside cityscape outside and I am going to rest the shuttle now I have got it on
dying so that I can shoot and move my hand away and the shutter weekly after
10 seconds selectivity creation from my hand when I take it off or something
they see so we have twenty seconds and yes I think this picture's major town
are pretty fine because prior experience tells me that five point six so i'm good
at a 20 second exposure is pretty good to expose a lot of stuff so let's see
there is
and yes pretty impressive
F 5.6 20 seconds at I saw hundreds a great place to stop if you feel that it
would just be bribed you can of course cut down the exposure to 15 seconds ten
seconds or if you feel that the pictures still dark and you would like to have a
brighter than you can be increased exposure down to thirty seconds or maybe
open up the aperture of it
