Low Light Photography 101 | EVERYTHING You Need to Know!
Low Light Photography 101 | EVERYTHING You Need to Know!
General outline of what's discussed in this video:
Discussion on hard factors vs soft factors that go into low light shooting
Camera limitations:
ISO performance
Ability to focus
Focus point considerations
Maximum aperture of the lens impacts your cameras ability to focus in low light this (not mentioned in video).
IBIS
Lens limitations:
(mostly) Maximum aperture
Image stabilization (IS)
Longer focal lengths = more camera shake = you cant shoot with as slow shutter speeds
Variable apertures
Thoughts on f1.2 lenses:
I want to make this clear: you DO NOT NEED a 1.2 lens. For most, they’re prohibitively expensive. Yes I went well over a decade of doing this successfully and producing excellent work in low light without one.
Personal skills / limitations:
How to hold your camera.
Using a wall to stabilize your camera in low light
using a table etc. to stabilize your camera
RAW VS JPEG
Shoot in raw to allow for the most latitude in adjustments you can make (data)
NOISE reduction
Jpegs apply it already - sometimes a bit heavy handed
When and why to use flash
When to use flash and why
Need
Choice
Quality (of light)
Protocols
Pushing limits and the order in which I'd do so
Can you use a continuous light?
Philosophical etc.
Lighting for correct vs lighting for what it was like to be there.
What is technical perfection, really?
