Why do all the street lamps I shoot at night have ghostly light?

Night shooting is a shooting method with high technical requirements, and the ghostly light may be caused by the following reasons when shooting street lamps.

First of all, it may be because the camera exposure time is too long. In order to capture enough light when shooting at night, it is usually necessary to use a long exposure time. The light of the street lamp is constantly changing. When the exposure time is too long, the light of the street lamp will leave one or more ghostly lights in the picture. The solution to this problem is to shorten the exposure time, or use a smaller aperture and a higher ISO value to increase the brightness of the picture.

Secondly, it may be because the shutter speed of the camera is too slow. Shutter speed is a parameter that controls camera exposure time. If the shutter speed is too slow, the light of the street lamp will leave a ghostly light in the picture. The solution to this problem is to increase the shutter speed to reduce the time for light to enter the camera.

In addition, it may be because the white balance of the camera is not set correctly. White balance is a parameter used to adjust the color temperature of the camera for different light sources. If the white balance is not set correctly, the light of the street lamp will appear abnormal color, resulting in ghostly light. The solution to this problem is to adjust the white balance setting of the camera according to the actual situation, or to adjust it in the post-processing.

Finally, it may be due to the halo effect of the lens. Halo means that under strong light, there will be a halo effect around the lens, which will also make the light of street lamps show a ghostly effect in the picture. The solution to this problem is to use a better quality lens or use a hood to reduce the halo effect when shooting.

In short, ghostly lighting may be caused by too long exposure time, too slow shutter speed, incorrect white balance setting or lens halo effect. By adjusting these parameters and using appropriate equipment, this problem can be effectively solved and better night photos can be taken.
