Ya'll have been asking about night photography for a while! Hope some of these tips help! That water bottle tip though- Wooooo!!! Pumped on that!

[@LiveToLoop]

Night photography is my life. As you said "photography for you ends when the sun goes down." Well for me, that is when my adventure begins. I've always been a night owl. Something about the world at night and how everyone is asleep. It's almost like the world is all mine. No worries about anything. Love the videos Peter! -AaronFisherAllen a 22 year old kid

[@JohnnyJamesJamrock]

hell yeahhh.

[@atbsigma]

I'm with you on night shots being my favorite. I also do amateur astronomy as a hobby so some of my first DSLR shots were night sky landscapes. When done right you can pull out starlight from stars that you can't see naked eye. You also start getting into Milky Way shots and other cool effects that long exposures at night give you. I think it really tests the limits of your equipment and eye.

[@Mosttechy]

One more tip: carry a pepper spray!

[@kavoro8951]

Or a 9mm🤷‍♂️

[@ziqiorquina1352]

Yea how

[@EidanMA]

If you don’t have a remote, a good way for activating the shutter without getting blur is using a 2 second timer

[@SergioRoblesdeMedina]

Yep, that should work on all cameras. Many cameras these days also have Wifi functionality, which usually comes with an app that can be used as a remote too.

[@heyyitsandy]

THESE TIPS ARE SICK

[@Aura_m93]

fact

[@simkarte123]

Or if you have Magic Lantern installed on your Canon there´s a few ways (using the "LCDsensor" i.e. on the 700D/T5i or a sound spike for example a loud clap)!

[@canadude6401]

Me too

[@henok5509]

don't even own a camera but i watch every video

[@gingatim]

I love this. The night is my favorite, ever since I started with photography. The world takes on a different hue at night, lighting is different, people act differently and you can really capture some moments. I find myself being able to tune out. I put some headphones on and go for a walk. I've met some of the most amazing people in the late night hours.

[@dodmedia]

Another awesome thing to try with night photography is to bring a cheap flash with you, so if you're exposing for say 10 seconds and getting loads of awesome light trails, you then trigger the flash to fire on a subject like a person so they appear super sharp in the frame despite everything else with movement being super blurry. Just make sure you're not overpowering that flash. It might need a ton of diffusion!

[@renatapereira]

DOD Media Great idea!

[@iriamrivera]

Subbed

[@offthecameraroll]

So would you fire the flash in the same shot as you are doing the long exposure or take two seperate shots and overlay them in post?

[@dodmedia]

Depends how skilled you are at compositing I guess. I'd opt to fire it in the same shot so it's one RAW file and it can all be done from Lightroom instead of having to go into Photoshop and do any stitching. If you've got the exposure set for say 30 seconds (or more in Bulb mode) then just have your subject run out to where they need to be, and fire off the flash once. It'll probably take a couple of goes to get the flash exposure right.

[@BubblesPothowari]

Long exposure, 4,5,6..10 seconds and 2nd curtain sync. Thant's all. Make sure your model is at right place.

[@JoaoLucas-fy5uf]

A tip: So that you don't need the remote control to shoot, use the 2 second timer option so there is time to release the camera so there is no blur.

[@yourmomfavfriend2092]

i dont have a camera but this tip work well and i finally able to take a stable picture with my phone

[@JackHarvey_Production]

[@NicksFort]

A super fun addition to night photography is bringing along a laser pointer, or little multi colored flash light and painting with that light during your long exposures. It will work very similar to the headlights on cars, but you will have control over that light. You can outline a person, draw or write your name, or whatever :)

[@TylerNeely]

Pete you make videos always at the right Time! I’ve recently been wanting to tackle “Night Photography” myself and have been procrastinating it because it’s something I’ve never done. I’m definitely taking this video as a push to finally go do it.

[@CarlosSilva-xe8mm]

An important tip for when you’re doing long exposures with tripod: don’t forget to switch off the image stabilization. I always forget about that. The stabilizer tries to stabilize any movement and the photos will be blurry.

[@atbsigma]

I'm gonna try that... I have been fighting with one of my lenses that I feel should be able to produce some sharp night photos. I'm seeing better results from a kit lens. I haven't ventured into shutting off that image stabilization yet and maybe that will finally do it.

[@chrisr4047]

If you can't find anything in your budget, you can even just rest your camera on a wall or anywhere it will stay steady. You can place it on an item of clothing (folded up) to help get the composition you want.

[@WalkaboutLife]

Quick tip: if you don’t have a remote and don’t want to get one you can use a 2 second timer!!!!

[@cfnugraha]

You save my money!!!

[@desertnymph2968]

Not all cameras have a timer. Especially the older bodies

[@Lauren_C]

@@desertnymph2968 The timer is also kind of useless to use Bulb mode too as you need to interact with the camera to cut it off.

[@shawnazelinsky5806]

Canon has an app that I use on my phone that works as a remote. It works very well!

[@Ryzeoutdoors]

TIP: If you don't have a remote, download the canon app and shoot from your phone or device. Or 2 second timer.

[@gijsdebruinemedia]

700D doesn't have the WiFi connection option

[@Rudolph486]

2 second timer is the best option by far

[@thehabob2010]

because the canon m50 u can not have a remote like what is shown in the video.

[@ninad_bhattacharyya]

@@Rudolph486 nope. sometimes that doesn't help. If your shutter speed is under 30sec then it's OK. But, if you need to use the BULB mode for very long exposure then definitely you need a remote.

[@jeremygorski7570]

that's actually even better than a remote

[@tylerhergott7546]

that intro before the intro

[@Wolf_1775]

I work nights, so it was like jumping into the deep end of night photography for me. Then it became trying it out with night vision optics added to the lenses, which got pretty awesome. You gave me a couple additional ideas for things to try, and I'll probably give it a go on my next night shift.

Peter, you are such an inspiration! I know that you don't really do product reviews, but would it be okay for me to email you in a month or two and get your opinion on the Lume Cube once you've had more time to use it? We like to go on portage and backcountry camping trips, and really need a lightweight, reliable light for filming at night. We have to be very frugal and make a lot of sacrifices so that we can go on these trips, and the Lume Cube is a bit pricey for us. I want to be sure before I buy it, and your opinion means a lot to us. I'm replying to Lume Cube's comment with the hope that there will be a better chance of you seeing this! Thank you, and I hope you have an amazing day :)

[@MrGhosty0091]

I know I'm here when the video is pretty old at this point, but one thing that is a lot of fun with night shots is to actually paint with light. By that I mean you can get an assortment of flashlights or other light sources and on long exposures imagine you are drawing lines with your light sources. There is a lot of variance and requires a lot of practice to get your effects down so as to replicate them consistently but the end result is a rather unworldly image. This method also works really well when photographing in less urban areas as you have more control over all the light your camera sees. Great videos, lots of really amazing info you're sharing sir.

Tip for not shaking the camera when you have a slow shutter speed. I do a shot delay (usually used for getting in a group picture before it shoots or something like that) at like 2 seconds. Then just press it and take your hands off the camera and you won't ruin your picture.

[@xaviermoletvendrell6010]

[@morganphelps6639]

Little tip! If you don’t have a remote for long exposure, set your timer for two seconds! The camera doesn’t capture the tiny shake from pushing the shutter😊

Swing4TheRing it was so awesome to have a dark room and film photography class in high school [2005-6] and learn all about exposures and f stops and analog Photoshop in the darkroom.

[@Swing4TheRing]

I took a BW course in 2004 and remember burning through rolls of film. It was fun to not get the instant gratification of seeing what you took and having to wait to develop it, almost like it was opening a gift on xmas!

[@1972Russianwolf]

yes, but astrophotography was a huge pain when you were slightly out of focus and didn't know it until you developed..... entire nights of wasted film.

[@icon134]

I took a photography class while in college in 1999 and shot all my photos for that class with a Pentax Spotmatic camera that was a hand-me-down from my father. It was very educational and I learned a lot that I still apply to my photography now (albeit I don't do it professionally just for fun). I also was able to play with and learn some darkroom techniques with an old Meopta (Czech made) enlarger that I got from an uncle. Digital is a totally different beast but darn it is often just as much fun in it's own way.

[@sneakerset]

Knife edge focuser(s) were the solution for a/p. Nowadays setting up focus is simple with Live view and a Bahtinov mask.

Thank you so much. I have been following you since 2018. Love your tips and especially your creativity.

[@ChazVanTassell]

Just to add to the whole camera shake thing, if you're on a budget, you can also just throw a quick 2-3 second timer on. Let's you push that shutter button and get your hands off the camera and not have to deal with any image blur or spendy remotes

I'm a beginner who's started with night photography so I absolutely loved this. The tips were inspirational and the Lume Cube has gone on my Christmas wish list. Thx!

[@shevardavis7500]

Third video and I'm already a fan and have subscribed! Love your videos man...you just have an amazing vibe and attitude towards what you do...amazing simplicity! Your videos are very informative too especially for a young photographer like myself. Continue the good work and continue inspiring and motivating. 👍🏻

You don't need a remote if you have a canon and a phone download the canon app it's great

[@kavinsuresh5468]

TheMixedPrince yeah! I was about to comment that

[@yenthegeuvens1907]

what's wrong with a timer?

[@themysterysith]

TheMixedPrince yeah Nikon has Nikon SnapBridge for the remote

[@LXVIII_MADETHIS]

But don't you need a camera with wifi? Not all canons have it.

[@EphemeralProductions]

TheMixedPrince: Nikon has the same thing as well. For we Nikon users. :)

Thank you man. I tried night photography for the first time yesterday and I realized I needed a tripod because of the slow shutter speed needed. Thank your for the links in the description

[@sketchie_x]

If you scroll down on your instagram profile and look back at your older pictures and say "Wow, these look like shit", you're doing a great job

[@mohmmed1665]

Am I the 1st to smash the like button 2020 style? Must be something that I’m into.

I know you probably won't see this but I am 18 years old and going to university next year. I am captivated by the power and possibilities that come with filmmaking. The plan has always been to start a youtube channel in university but I decided to get off my butt and not wait because it only just losing time. Last night I posted my first ever youtube video and have been looking to my favorite KZbinrs such as yourself, Casey, and Justin Escalona (PlayTheGameFilms) for ideas on how to grow as a channel and improve the content I produce. Do you or anyone else in the comments have any tips for getting the ball rolling on youtube? Thanks, Robbie Loughery

[@ParallelFeatures]

Robbie Loughery create what you like . It's KZbin! Good luck

[@p_for_poo]

Spend a couple years editing a clip

[@averypeck]

The way I think of it: create content that YOU would want to watch, not what your audience would want to watch. Because of the sheer size of KZbin, you will always find those who are interested in what you do, as long as you project the same passion and interest. Build an audience around what you like; don't change what you like just to build an audience. Also, upload regularly :)

Night time shooting is actually really fun! I’ve done it a few time but I’ll tell you, when a train is going 80 mph and you get a light trail of it, it looks amazing!!! Great video!

[@Robert.Macdonald]

I don’t use a remote I set my camera it to a 2’s delay. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@patrickbrahney1042]

Can you make a video where you show us how to edit night photos? That would be awesome!

[@JarraxQ]

I've been wanting to go out and do some night photography for a while... I'll definitely have to go do it after these tips! Thanks Peter :D

[@playdust3226]

Tell me your Twitter or Insta once you've done some so I can see what you have shot

[@JarraxQ]

Sure man, my instagram is linked on my channel, do you have instagram too?

[@jaime2057]

"For me photography just ends when the sun goes out" (Shows one of the best night shots I've seen) Congrats

[@lambosuperl]

Instead of buy a shutter remote, a put a two second timer on my camera - works just as well :)
