[@philjones2697]

And in regards to point number 3 about dragging your shutter, I often use a lamp post, mailbox, bench, whatever to prop or even just lean against for extra stability. Can often get short trails and walking movement down at 1/4 sec! Great tips was always Pierre.

[@krzysztoffurmaga7902]

Great, all tips are awesome, and the Best is number 1. Go out and start shoot.

Thank you

[@photoaddiktt7633]

the best tip was tip no.-01 👏👏👏

[@blancopop7845]

One thing I’ve learned is, and I’m sorry for going against what you said, but you don’t always have to go to your lowest aperature. If you find a good light source you can get pictures better in focus if you choose a decent aperature. If you have a full frame camera that does well in low light setting, you can even get away with doing this with minimal light.

[@gerryphilpott9766]

Thanks Pierre. Love your energy in the videos. Quick question, do you use the hood for general protection of the lens or to shield from stray light? I try to keep the whole camera/lens as small as possible to not stand out, but wondering if I'm missing something. I have an 85mm so already somewhat larger profile.

[@gundamaction1201]

I generally just use the lens hood and it works fine. I don’t know if there’s any other way if lens hood is too much of a profile. I do understand why you wanna keep a low profile though

[@kentmarcus9668]

Hi pierre, can you make a video about phone low light or night mode shoot?

[@nirgends882]

Hi Pierre Do you think a 24mm and a 85mm lens is a good combination for landscape and street photography? Or would you recommend 50mm instead of 85mm? By the way, I love watching your videos, keep it up!

[@Pierretlambert]

Love 24+85 combo!

[@Fifthimagez]

Thanks

i have a canon 80d with a 16-35 canon lens and taking pictures at night is crazy hard i wonder if i need to tweak my settings in order to get my pictures to come out great. so you said to leave it in aperture mode and everything will be alright

[@El_Filmz]

Are you on manual mode the whole time or do you use Aperture priority mode? Or shutter priority mode? Great video by the way 💯

[@studiogab5095]

I've been watching his videos for a long time now, And He said he loves apperature priority Mode in day light but he uses manual whenever he needs more control so here in low light video he used manual to control his ISO and Shutterspeed😁

[@moneyball32]

Do you think a 1.4 is worth the extra price and bulk compared to a 1.8 for night street photography?

[@patrick333]

Arent you sacrifie sharpness over noise if you lower your ss so much?

[@piratesa3732]

What a best picture control for photography? Should i keep shoot in Flat or Standard?

[@vincentpere1576]

pirateSA keep it flat and shoot in RAW, so that you can freely edit your photo on lightroom and make it look as you want

Pierre T. Lambert I did that, and listened through many of those tracks, and still couldn’t find it. So can you please share the exact name?

[@scrptwic]

I like to use my Rokinon 20mm 1.8 for night photography on my Asp-c camera . The other lens I use is my 50mm1.4 Takumar which ccan be hard to focus at night do to its shallow depth of field but set 2.0 or 2.8 not a problem. Depending on the camera I limit my ISO to 6400 or 12800 both with some noise but acceptable. I found in post editing I need to adjust the Gamma correction on the plus side to reduce the shadows

Yes bro i have a telephoto kit lens with 4.5 aperture , when it comes to night photography , its really hard to take a photo without noise , my camera only co- op up to 800 ISO , above than that pics look noisy one , if you could release the video about , it will help me lot Thanks in advance bro❣️

[@clonkex]

Now if only I didn't live 15kms from the nearest town...

[@SceneArtisan]

Tip 1 - Make sure your camera's sensor doesn't suffer from seriously maddening levels of noise in low light. If my (frankly shitty NX11) camera tried to take the picture at 0:53 it'd look like she was walking in a heavy snow-storm, actually, come to think of it, you'd be lucky to see anyone in the shot at all! Cheap-as-f*** sensors are just *no* good at low light, especially ones that are over 10 years old! Does anyone want my camera? Hit me up.

[@Pierretlambert]

Yeah that shot was heavy on the sensor ISO 12800!

[@SceneArtisan]

@@Pierretlambert I did wonder about that! Seriously, on the NX11, at 3600 (its max ISO setting) this pic would look like utter shit, even with a tripod and a fast lens.

[@SceneArtisan]

Ha, 3 days later and no one wants my camera. That says all I need to know.
