A couple of other tips, assuming your camera has these options. Set Long Exposure Noise Reduction - ON, turn on Mirror Lock Up (or, in my Nikon D90, I use the Exposure Delay Mode…either way, this is to reduce camera shake through mirror-slap). This last I do whenever I use a tripod, day or night.

@djaef I agree. Small fstop values can too narrow depth of field in. Tripod, longer exposure times, and delay timers are better solutions.

if your experimenting, first choose manual mode to get full use of the camera. select a higher iso maybe 800, but dont go too high because of noise. then select maybe a f8 aperture size and play with shutter speeds. select output in jpeg so your not waiting ages to view the pictures on the camera.

@djaef But in the example shown here, that would have required a shutter speed beyond 30 seconds and therefore a cable realease and bulb mode. Remember these videos are aimed at beginners, so I try and keep it simple. But please feel free to produce a tutorial for more experienced photographers. I look forward to seeing it.

Telling people to simply open their aperture all the way is really bad advice. They’ll get narrow depth of field and the wrong aperture for many types of light. I’d suggest instead to start around f8 and then play with shutter speed.

@mmadk5 It is clear you do not understand the depths of your misunderstandings when it comes to cameras.

I’m still not too sure why people spend thousands of dollars on cameras…I myself have a Canon PorwerShot and get near pro shots. I’m just saying…

Wow….just….wow the manual mode is always the best for dslr!
Thanks for the tip. I will surely respect it when I will have my own dslr camera.

Full auto is always too light and too cold- every camera I’ve owned the photos come out overexposed and with a slight blue tint on full auto.
