Long Shutters….
Low ISO – less noise + longer exposure 30 second exposures Captures movement Moving lights create “lines” Moving “dark” objects disappear Stationary objects look “normal”

ISO
Noise at high ISO – not great at night Use ISO 100/200 Shutter at ISO 200 is ½ that at ISO 100

White Balance
Street lights are “warm” Use “Tungsten” or “Incandescent” Makes things look “normal” and “cool” Experiment with other settings

Wide Apertures
Wider apertures give shorter exposures More chance of seeing “dark” objects Lights appear “fatter” Points of light are “blobs” Possible able to “hand hold”

Small Apertures
Long exposures Dark objects do not appear Moving lights look “finer” and “thin” Points of light turn into “Stars” Need a tripod

Composition
All about lines Use road markings and moving cars Think in Diagonal Lines Diagonal coming out of corners is strong

Technique….
Get an exposure that works – meter or trial/error
Light at night stays constant Camera on tripod Compose a shot Wait for a car to come and hit the
shutter Review the shot and learn
