Thanks for another wonderful video. I am learning so much from you’re videos.

[@attrell]

You are so welcome! Thank you!

[@rmcguirephoto]

I've done night photography off and on over the years, but even though your videos are often aimed more at beginners, I never fail to learn new things. You have a clear teaching style. As a bonus, it's fun to see some of the Western Canada locations where I've also shot -- like Sandon and Kaslo in this one. Thanks for what you do.

[@attrell]

Thank you so much!!!!

I discovered this just in time to take pictures of Christmas lights. Thanks Chris.

[@attrell]

Glad I could help!

Holy moly now i understand the relationship of iso and shutter. The 15 sec 100 iso and 1/60 6400 iso explains it all. Thank you. Lmao the revelation in my face. that is why it is nice and crisp because you let in a lot of light!

Glad you enjoyed it

Hello Chris. I’m a beginner so I apologize if the question sounds silly. I was really intrigued when you walked up to the theater. I’ve never heard or seen this done before. In walking up to the theater with the flashlight, how did you ensure you were not in the shot? How did you remove yourself & the flashlight from it? Was the camera set on a timer, or was that merely using a slow shutter speed? I’d love to try this but am unsure of how to execute it properly. Thanks.

[@marcelo1000]

Hi Chris. Im loving all your content. Onde doubt: can i substitute a tripod by placing the camera (lets say M50) on sometinhg stable like the car roof or even the curb?

[@attrell]

Thank you! And yes for sure you can do that. I do it sometimes too.

[@Grainexpress]

Very interesting! Learned a few things. Thanks Chris!

[@attrell]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alanglenn8854]

I have learnt a lot from your videos what do you think of the nikon z6ll for night time photography iam thinking of upgrading to this camera from my nikon 5500

[@attrell]

It's way easier for night photography, and way better results. You will love it!

[@CruisingwithChooChoo]

I’m learning so much just by watching your videos. I’ve also been considering an upgrade from my Canon T5i so the M50 will be it! Thank you so much for doing these for us. I love how you take the time to explain things as I’m a beginner. Can I use the lenses that I have for my T5i (55-250mm, Samyang 14mm F2.8) on this M50?

[@attrell]

That m50 is the easiest night photography camera ever! You will need an adapter to use those lenses, I think it costs $250 but pretty much every camera store will sell it. The Canon M22mm lens is about $250 as well, that is a great night photo lens for m50.

[@CruisingwithChooChoo]

Thank you so much for the information. I appreciate it and I’ll look into the M22 lens as well.

[@rockybearpig7673]

Awesome video! How come you don't show up with motion blur in the photo when you're shining the flashlight on the theater sign?

[@attrell]

I keep moving and wearing dark. If I wore a wedding dress and moved slower, you would see motion.

[@jnrickards]

Do you talk about the noise reduction feature in any of your videos?

[@attrell]

No because I don't use it. I prefer using Lightroom for that if I need it.

[@shondahogg3867]

Hi Chris! Which camera are you using to shoot this video?

[@attrell]

Back in those days it was a Canon M50

[@1duesy]

At approximately 8 minutes in, you light paint the Monarch sign. How did you eliminate yourself from the final image and is the camera's shutter open for the duration? Thx

[@attrell]

I used a flashlight and if you keep moving, you won't be seen!

[@rnatokross8746]

hi Chris ,can you give us tip ,using a smartphone samsung galaxy s8 plus, Thanks Chris

[@attrell]

Sadly I have never used one of those yet. BUt it can do it, just need a tripod.

[@RichardCockerill]

i subscribed great info

[@attrell]

Thank you!

[@Atlantis4242]

If you tried urban lowlight photography in the USA, you'd most likely be robbed of anything of value before your first exposure was finished.

[@attrell]

That's why I mostly do this in December when I am down there, I can get started at 5:30 and be done by 7pm.
