Simple night scene photography techniques

The night view of the city is gorgeous and colorful. I believe many people want to record the night view of the city. But many times the results are found to be unsatisfactory. In fact, as long as you master a few tips, you can easily take high-level night photos regardless of your mobile phone or camera!

1. Tripod

Night scene photography usually requires a longer exposure time, so it is necessary to remain still to take clear photos. Using a tripod can reduce shaking, which can ruin your photos.

2. Lower the ISO brightness

High brightness can increase the shutter speed to reduce the problem of shaking when shooting, but the disadvantage will be that a lot of noise will appear in the photo, destroying the beauty. Especially when shooting night scenes, long exposure will make the noise particularly obvious, so if you are carrying a tripod, you should use a low ISO to obtain the best imaging effect.

3. Use a small aperture to shoot

Using a smaller aperture value F8--F11 can keep the distant and close shots clear and detailed, and if there is lighting at night, use a small aperture Aperture shooting can also turn the light into a star shape, making the effect more prominent.

4. Long exposure

Long exposure can record the trajectory of the red taillights of the car, and can also make some light invisible to the naked eye appear, making the picture colorful. The long exposure shutter can be set to 2 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds or hours

5. White balance

It is not recommended to use automatic white balance when shooting night scenes. In dark environments Under this condition, automatic white balance can easily cause chromatic aberration in photos.

When shooting night scenes, the color temperature should be controlled at 3200K-3500K for the best effect. If you want to save trouble, you can adjust it to the "tungsten light" mode
