@@paultrunfull3324 Very much appreciated. That’s pretty much my goal …. to remain consistent, concise, and to ensure that what i’m delivering is correct! Thank you for taking the time to watch.
Informative video. I love to shoot at night. I mostly shoot the milky way but it's have done some street photography at night. One thing about ISO though. ISO doesn't change the sensitivity of the sensor. ISO is applied after the photo is taken. Noise is the absence of light and is always present when there's not light. When the ISO is raised the noise is amplified with the light. It works similarly to a microbiology when you turn the gain up to be able to hear someone who speaks softly. Ago off a sudden you can hear the crackle and popping in the background. I'm the film days the ISO was from the crystals in the film so having a higher ISO film actually increased the sensitivity of the film. The crystals absorbed photons. The more crystals there were the higher the ISO. It also created more grain. My go to lens for the milky way is my 20mm f/ 1.8 lens. I usually stop it down to f/2.8 to get sharper stars and less vignetting. I love my 24-70mm at night too. I can use it for street or milky way. The stars are sharp with that lens. Nikon is doing great things with their z lenses.
Wow!! Incredible comment. Thanks for sharing, Carl! Your explanation of ISO really helped expand my understanding, especially the analogy to gain in microbiology-that’s such a clear way to think about it. I also found the point about ISO in the film days fascinating, with the crystals absorbing photons and higher ISO films actually being more sensitive. That adds a lot of historical context to how ISO works today. I appreciate your thoughtful and detailed comment-it’s always great to learn something new!
You're a great communicator, teacher, college professor or police office? Your Pro Tip at 10:57 on the "500 Rule" is for full frame cameras. Those with a crop sensors say Sony 6700 has a 1.5 crop, so a 24mm lens X 1.5 = 36mm then divide 500 by 36 for 13.89 seconds. Great video, cheer's from Vancouver Canada.
Thank you for the kind words! I always aim to present material the way I’d want to hear it myself, so it’s great to know it resonates. Your example with the Sony 6700 is spot on and incredibly useful for crop-sensor users. Cheers to you in Vancouver, Canada!
Thank you 🙏🏾 I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave this feedback. It’s encouraging to know that the video resonated with someone who’s seen a lot of tutorials. I’ll keep striving to make the content as useful as possible. Thanks again.
@@franksalas24 It ultimately depends on what I’m shooting. In my opinion, your collection of focal lengths and apertures covers the spectrum really well- the 24mm f/2.8 is great for wide-angle shots like cityscapes, or astrophotography, though the f/2.8 aperture may require slightly longer exposures to let in enough light. The 50mm f/1.8 is versatile for general use, with its wide aperture allowing plenty of light in for street photography or mid-range subjects. Finally, the 85mm f/1.8 is perfect for portraits or isolating subjects, and the wide aperture allows in a great deal of light.
@@franksalas24 I very often carry two of my favorite lenses with me when I go out for night photograpfy. A 35mm f/1.4 and 50mm f/1.4. I often shoot at ISO 3200 and have no problem with. I find it adds to the atmosphere. I love night photography. I vary my apertures between 2.8 and 4.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad to hear you found the video clear and concise-that’s always my goal when sharing these techniques. Appreciate you watching, and I hope it helps with your night photography journey!

Your video is well done, and your presentation is spot on. I realize this is geared towards beginners, so maybe you just didn't cover it. What do you do about white balance, with and without mixed light sources? Do you just us Auto WB and fix it in post?
Thank you for the great feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. For white balance, my approach is to set a preset WB in-camera rather than using Auto WB, and I always shoot in RAW. This way, I have a consistent color baseline across all my shots, which makes it much easier to match colors during editing. Shooting in RAW also gives me the flexibility to make precise adjustments in post, so I can fine-tune the color balance based on the look I’m aiming for without any quality loss. This method keeps my workflow smooth and ensures color consistency, especially in scenarios where lighting can be variable. I hope this insight helps, and thanks again for watching!
Hi Sir, it's really helpful for beginners like me. I always have problems balancing the exposure during night photography, especially in manual mode. I'm not sure why the exposure value keeps shooting up to brightest level even after I manually dial the ev to 0 level. The 500 rule might help me a lot in night photography. Very interesting video tutorials, and you teach us so professionally. Just completed my night journey yesterday, Nov 10, not the photos look good or bad. Thank you. ❤
I’m really glad the video has been helpful for you! Balancing exposure in night photography, especially in manual mode, can definitely be tricky. It sounds like you’re already putting in the effort to dial in those settings and explore techniques like the 500 rule, which is a great tool for star photography. As for the exposure value issue, sometimes the camera’s meter can be sensitive to small light sources in dark settings, causing it to overcompensate. Keep experimenting-it’s all part of the journey! Congrats on completing your night shoot, and don’t worry about perfection. Every photo is a learning step. Thanks so much for watching, and happy shooting!
@providencephotographydfw3339 Thanks for the valuable support and tips in detai. I am really appreciate your effort to understand my issues. You're a great mentor. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
It’s going to sound strange. But I’m sitting at 3:25 in the morning watching your photography lesson in English. Because I got into photography and it just so happened that I’m learning English. Thanks for the beautifully shot video and the helpful lesson, brother. Your video is much better than many famous bloggers. My subscription and like for your work.

Wow, awesome video. Informative, well edited. I've been shooting some nighttime photos lately, trying to capture people in motion. It's tricky though here in a small town where there isn't as much artificial ambient light available. I try to keep my distance from photographed people to make it more natural and avoid being spooky 😅 a person with huge 200-600 on a tripod after dark in a small town looks odd that's for sure 😅 using 600mm focal length and a timer is also tricky because of a narrow field of view. Capturing objects that don't shine or reflect light is also requiring a different approach.
Thanks so much for the support! Really glad you enjoyed the video. It sounds like you’re facing some interesting challenges with night photography-small towns, low light, and trying to keep things natural from a distance is no easy feat! Shooting with a long lens at night definitely takes patience, but it’s awesome to see you’re putting in the effort to make it work. Keep at it, and thanks again for sharing your experience!
@providencephotographydfw3339 here in Poland during this time of year the sun sets quickly. So there is plenty of time to experiment. I capture people while they pass underneath street lamps. Shutter speed needs to be something around 1 second. Longer than that makes people disappear 😅 unless they don't move as much. So it really depends and like you said it's trial and error. subscribed😉
@ Thanks so much for subscribing! It sounds like you’re making the most of those early sunsets in Poland-getting to experiment with light and movement under street lamps is such a unique experience. Appreciate you sharing your process!
Nice video, but keep in mind that raising ISO will not „allow more light to hit the sensor” nor increase sensor sensitivity, this is common mistake how ISO works. It just amplifies signal that sensor registers. That’s why the noise is visible on higher iso’s, cause in same exposition, the shutter speed is lower or aperture is higher which results less light hitting the sensor reducing signal to noise ratio.
Thanks for explaining that! I appreciate you breaking this down because it clears up a misconception I had, and it’s really helpful for understanding how ISO affects noise in low-light shots. Thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge with me and the community.

@@ghifarix Thank you for sharing your perspective! I completely respect the appreciation for capturing moments as they are, without relying on post-processing. There’s something powerful in using the camera as a pure tool to create ‘physiological art,’ as you put it, that feels genuine and true to life. Photography has so many approaches, and it’s inspiring to hear from someone who values the authenticity of the craft over the convenience of digital editing. Keep creating that raw, unfiltered art-it’s a perspective the world needs!
