After years of using a "Point and Shoot", I finally got a dSLR! I decided on a Canon EOS Rebel XS and love it so far. I went out tonight for my first attempt at night-time photography. It was a lot of fun, but definitely a lot of experimentation. These three shots are of a statue that is located between the De Young Museum and the newly re-opened Academy of Sciences in the Golden Gate Park. In the second picture you can see the moon and a star or planet in the back ground. They all came out a little bit blurry, or grainy. I think it may have been easier if I used a tripod. Let me know what you think!

Hey came across your blog when I googled night time photography in SF, since im looking for new vantage points of this beautiful city at night. First of all congrats to your first DSLR. And although im very much an amateur myself I have a few pointers for you to improve your nighttime pictures. 1) you definitely need a tripod, this is a must. I work with a cheap one for about 100 dollars you can find one like mine (sprint proII). 2)you need to lower your ISO once you get a tripod you can do this. I usually shoot with 100 ISO to avoid the grainyness. 3) get used to taking pictures in program or manual mode. This way you can do some cool stuff like having your flash go off and having a super long exposure at the same time. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I appreciate the info and will definitely try it out soon. I hope to be getting a tripod and once I do I think it will all be much easier!
