Is the machine the most important thing in SLR night photography? Or something else?

Thank you for inviting me! Night shooting is closely related to many factors. Give some suggestions from the following points:

1. Body: Machines with high noise sensitivity and excellent control ability, Nikon and Canon 1 digital flagship machine are of course the most ideal. Full-frame machines have certain advantages over scrapbooking machines in high noise sensitivity and control (in many cases, tripods cannot be installed and cameras need to be moved, so the body performance is particularly important).

2. Lens: A large aperture lens with good quality is also necessary (beautiful stars, Jiao Wai depends on the quality of the lens), and a larger amount of light and a powerful body can make you more comfortable!

3. Important accessories: tripod, tripod, tripod; Cable release, cable release, cable release, important accessories, especially scenery shooting, must be combined with low sensitivity, small aperture and shutter pre-lift function to get a pure picture!

4. Other accessories: Flash or LED fill light is also very useful when shooting night portraits and some small landscapes!

5. Selection of scenery: colorful neon lights in urban streets, landscape lights in scenic spots, soft monochrome or multicolor lights in shopping malls, living lighting in small streets and lanes, creative light shows (creative lights or beams), etc. Of course, when shooting wild stars, galaxies and natural scenery, we have to use long exposure to capture natural light for shooting. If you add headlights, you can get a different creative experience with the help of a strong flashlight!

The above is my humble opinion, I hope it will help!
