⚬ Use a tripod: Stability is crucial for long exposure shots in low light conditions.
⚬ Use manual mode: Take control of your camera settings, including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, to get the desired exposure.
⚬ Experiment with different shutter speeds: Try longer exposures to capture light trails or starry skies, and shorter exposures to freeze motion
⚬ Utilize a remote shutter release or self-timer: Minimize camera shake by avoiding direct contact when pressing the shutter button.
⚬ Consider light sources: Incorporate ambient light, such as city lights or moonlight, to add depth and atmosphere to your shots.
⚬ Experiment with light painting: Use a flashlight or other light source to selectively illuminate elements in your frame.
⚬ Shoot in RAW format: RAW files retain more data and provide greater flexibility for editing.
⚬ Adjust white balance: Fine-tune the color temperature to enhance the mood and eliminate unwanted color casts.
⚬ Enhance contrast and clarity: Increase contrast and clarity to bring out details and make your subjects pop
⚬ Reduce noise: Use noise reduction techniques to minimize grain and maintain image quality.
⚬ Adjust exposure selectively: Use adjustment brushes or masks to target specific areas and fine-tune exposure without affecting the entire image.
⚬ Enhance colors selectively: Use saturation or vibrance adjustments to boost colors in specific areas or elements.
⚬ Experiment with black and white conversions: Night scenes can often make stunning black and white images, emphasizing shapes and textures.
