[@Ethansanches7.3]

I knew he was gonna watch this video😂

[@kristicifci5389]

Hey bro in ur next video can u do how to shoot in low light ur method

[@user-qh5kv3lq9t]

LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY settings 1. high shutter speed 2. high iso 3. wide open aperture 4. lightroom noise reduction effect

[@MrS2jack]

I'm new to the photography and I got Nikon D800 50mm f/1.8g. How much approximately iso will work best for these kind of pics?

[@andie4464]

Gökhan Demir just experiment and take test shots in every location. Its always changing and depends on how you like to edit

[@dpkdz]

@@MrS2jack you'll get minimal noise till 3200.. I'll suggest not to go above 6400.

[@dustblog3558]

@@MrS2jack Best tip I ever got was choose shutterspeed to suit the scene (i.e. fast if the object is moving) and then just move the ISO up from there. Try it as low as possible to begin with.

[@thiccpencil9191]

High iso but not too high too high can make too much noise and noise reduction can’t always take enough away

[@leeallen2301]

As my main job is nightclub and gig photography I agree with all these tips. For gig photography, I like to use a 50mm, with the settings ~60/s, f1.8 and 3200 iso. If it's still too dark then use a flash with the exposure compensation set at -1, this adds a nice fill whilst keeping the colours from the stage lighting. For nightclubs, I use a 10-18mm with the settings 1/6th/s, f8, 800 iso and a Speedlite. This freezes the subject, but captures the glow of the club lights and creates a really nice effect. Haze is the biggest problem I have to deal with, do you have any tips for shooting through haze/fog created by fog machines in nightclubs?

[@gzarari]

usually fog is deleted at iso 100 or mostly lower iso

[@toprakcemsavas3132]

Lee Allen when I was taking a picture of my friend at a night club with my phone (that was bedore I bought a camera) I noticed that if you bring the mid curves down, you lose much of the smoke. I hope that helps :) and also I have the idea that a polarising filter might help too

[@tourinojacks5844]

I think you made a typo. You said 1/6th of a second. That will NOT freeze people movement.

[@chi149]

@@tourinojacks5844 the rear curtain flash freezes the subject. The 1/6 is to allow ambient light to move and meld together for an interesting effect.

[@SuperIceteapeach]

if you meant you have trouble with focussing, i would try using manual focus or this thing where AF is activated but you can change it than on the focus ring. and fokus peaking should be helpful when theres a lot of fog. greeting from an noob amateur :D

[@YCImaging]

This video is going viral off of that thumbnail alone!

[@kingscourt3724]

YCImaging dudeeeeee where have you been , why is KZbin not showing me your videos 🔥

[@MakeSomething]

"Use your equipment and get what you paid for." The best advice!

[@Zetura]

The synthwave music is perfect with the colored lights interior :P Looks like you're in Tron arcade room.

[@StefanLewis]

I had to replay "make sure your shutter speed is at least 100mm" about 5 times to make sure my ears weren't broken. Just a little whoopsie. Killer video, Pedro!

[@AlienatedFilms]

One of the few KZbinrs that attract us with the thumbnails. God they’re so good.

[@NylodeMeijer]

Amen to that, haha.

[@scry1888]

Clickbaiting done right!

[@JohnDoe-cd6ro]

God I love synth soundtracks. Adds to the neon aesthetic so well. It's why I love _Drive_ so much.

[@ShawkMOVIE]

Thanks for the tips Peter ! Another tip I would give : don't be afraid to USE THE INBUILT FLASH UPWARDS for the darker situations. This gives some awesome backlight while diminishing the normally overexposed look of the flash.

[@andrezcaradepez6344]

Hey Peter, I am starting to shoot a homemade short film and one of the scenes includes me taking pictures with a 35mm film camera. That got me wondering, does anyone shoot film nowadays? So I had this idea to challenge you to go on a photo shoot and take the pictures with a film camera. But I would want you to show the whole experience of choosing the ISO, loading the film, getting it developed and everything in between. Just so that everyone can get a taste of something that is getting lost. Love your videos keep it up man.

[@simkarte123]

I just shot a roll of film a week or so ago. Still haven't gotten around to get it developed... :D

[@galaxydreaming]

Ahhhh that’s what I’ve been doing wrong! I’ve been afraid of using iso too high as I’ve experience film grain from videos. That’s cleared that up then

[@MidgarMerc]

This is why I love shooting at Disneyland/California Adventure after dark. So many colors to play around with

[@camaira_birds-views]

Okay, setting my shutterspeed to a hundred millimeter :-D

[@JesseDriftwood]

Jon is a very good dude.

[@charlie9179]

I got my first dslr camera today! You’re videos have been really helping me choose a camera and a lens, thank you!

[@QKvox]

[@Rocky3lliott]

I sometimes have doubtful feeling for filming and shooting in dark situations but this video really helped! Thanks so much! I have started a KZbin channel using tips that u give to do photography and filmmaking! I just need an audience. Thanks so much peter!

[@chikoentertainment2909]

Does anyone else appreciate peter mckinnons b roll in like every video? Like bro you may be talking about photography but his videographer skills are also good!

[@BrendenWalters]

Definitely needed this tip! Low light conditions make it so difficult to get such a clear crisp shot. Thank you Peter! You continue to push me to work harder on my KZbin channel everyday!

[@NylodeMeijer]

If you need more tips: I also just released a low light photography tutorial. I mean, it's not Peters level, but well, if you want to see it, go on.

[@timelord2222]

For those using Photoshop, I would recommend the Neat Image Pro plugin. It can denoise a photo at three detail levels, on three channels separately (Y/Cb/Cr).

ay, yō! that last little "casual tip" starting @ mk 13:13 is golden. push your gear to get every dime out of it's capabilities. Screw what all those reviewers and unboxers and varied pretentious content harlots on yewtube say about "grain" or "sensor size" or "shooting FOR the fix in Lightroom or PS". Horserubbish! Shoot. “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”

[@seriouswithdaysoff]

I do photography for DJs and sometimes bands and the most difficult part is the shutter because everyone is moving on stage a lot. I usually just under expose everything and bring it back later because RAW is awesome. I also use a prism for style but it also helps to reflect more light into the camera.
