3 Tips to Take BETTER Night Photos - Leica Q

[@treharris1677]

Nice photos and a great, long term project for a photo book.

[@BPLeroyLotusEvora]

Very educational, thank you! From a 54-yr old Leica Q2 owner in Ghent, Belgium!

[@firsthandaccount]

No problem!! I also do training sessions on Zoom if you’re interested!

Nice to see you mention Todd Hido. His work is incredible. Beautiful and haunting.

[@firsthandaccount]

Love Todd Hido’s work it’s breathtaking!

Hi, how roughly do you underexpose using low ISO and medium f stops, 3 to 8 stops? Also if you go over 30 seconds exposure would your sensor not heat up and read Noise. Lots of tutorials I've seen say use widest f stop and shorter exposures, what you think? regards.

[@firsthandaccount]

I can post a behind the scenes editing video to show the process! I agree that shorter exposures are often better on digital cameras but you can still get really usable images at 30 second exposures!

The video is good, I have not been able to leave the house for 7 months to take photos, I miss taking photos with my Leica Q2 camera

[@alanward4551]

Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge..... Can you advise regarding white balance... Tungsten? Or? Thanks

[@firsthandaccount]

I can do a video about my editing process if you’d like! I do all the white balancing in post!

What scene mode do you shoot in?

PASM!

[@chengyiwang7775]

can u do a night setting video like the one u did with monochrome

[@firsthandaccount]

Will record this tomorrow!

[@firsthandaccount]

Just released the video on night settings!

[@ChrisPOConnell]

Love the video, as I always do. Amazing pictures, every time I question if I should upgrade my Leica Q you show me that there is little need to. One suggestion, it would have been super helpful if you showed settings on the photos you took.

[@firsthandaccount]

Thank you so much Chris I truly appreciate it 🙏🏽. I will keep that in mind for next video!

[@reenah.9169]

I can’t wait to see your work in a museum one day 😭❤️ this is amazing

[@firsthandaccount]

Thanks so much beautiful!

Less lights primarily because of demographic changes, especially in St. Paul.

[@firsthandaccount]

Totally agree!

[@patrickcazer]

you said ois technique ? im sorry what does it stand for ? id like to read up on it.

[@firsthandaccount]

Optical Image Stabilization! You can turn it on manually in the Leica Q settings to make sure it’s on when shooting at 1/15 or 1/8

[@patrickcazer]

firsthandaccount damn I shoot with an xpro3 and a 23mm 1.4 I wonder if it has it

[@firsthandaccount]

Just looked it up and the X Pro 3 does not have it in the body but some lenses do! The 23 1.4 does not as of my research

[@patrickcazer]

firsthandaccount damn I may save up for the Q or look into the gr iii I know it has ois I love these shots man you’ve gained my sub 🙏🏽

[@patrickcazer]

@@firsthandaccount haha so a week later i get a gr3.. i guess for the sake of this video ill have to figure out how to get this look can i send you some stuff on IG for constructive criticism ?

[@kubowich]

It’s 2021 so maybe people start coming to senses .... and don’t put those lights on their homes. Global warming is real shit

[@firsthandaccount]

Cool!
