I want to shoot the night scene by hand, but I don't want to use a tripod to find the best combination of iso value, shutter speed and aperture! Such as river reflections, high-rise buildings, and

First of all, it is impossible to take a night view without a tripod. If you want to shoot the night scene with a hand-held camera without shaking, the shutter speed must be high. When shooting at night, the aperture is generally fixed at 8, 9, 1 1, and the ISO value is generally between 100- 12800. The higher the shutter speed, the darker the picture. At this time, the brightness of the picture can only be enhanced by increasing the ISO value. The result: either the photo is very dark or manic spots are all over the picture like freckles.

We know that aperture, shutter and ISO speed are three factors that determine exposure, and they complement each other. Regarding the relationship between the three, I can use three figures to compare the relationship. Suppose 2, 3, and 4 are three elements: aperture, shutter, and ISO, and the sum of them is 9 for exposure. When 2 is fixed, if 3 subtracts a 1, 4 must add a 1 to keep the exposure constant. When 2 and 3 are fixed, 4 minus 1 will lead to underexposure, and 4 plus 1 will lead to overexposure. In addition to composition and light, a good photographic work can only be made by the coordination of these three elements.

If you shoot the night scene with a tripod: Aperture-When shooting the night scene, the aperture of the camera is generally set at F8-F22. The difference is that the aperture size determines the length of the star and the lighting effect. I usually set it to 9,11; ISO value-The higher the ISO value, the lower the image quality. It is recommended that100-800; Shutter-the use of tripod means that shutter speed is no longer a problem at this time. At this point, the aperture and ISO have been fixed, so to get a proper exposure, you need to adjust the shutter speed to get an ideal exposure.

Adjusting the aperture and ISO value depends on the lens. The high-end lens and the low-end lens have the same settings, and the effect is definitely different. The aperture and ISO value I mentioned above are only a reference value. If there is a better aperture ISO combination, as long as you are satisfied with the effect, it is certainly desirable.

I hope what I said is helpful for you to learn night shooting, and I wish you success!
