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!
Dude like the Palander look!!
Your first photo are very cool
dope man
Yay, I'm going to be doing a late video shoot soon. These tips should help. Thanks!
this is sick pete!
if you dont shoot at night youre missing one of the most interesting parts of photography
And something you can't do in daylight... light painting.
xiRazZzer yup especially if you live in a busy city. Night time is one of the best time to go out for pictures
im scared
idk how to make my camera take good pictures at night
agreed
@@klara4957 what camera you got?
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
Totally relate, when the sun goes down, I get to work.
Im so glad someone understands💜
unless you get robbed XD
SAME!
You go out with friends or on your own? In which country are you? Thanks for answering ;)
Peter McKinnon, the only man that can say "I have no idea what I'm doing" and still make a tutorial out of it. Love it
IKR love him
h'es just humble
4:27 such a satisfying sound
How did he do that lol
Yea how
One more tip, always bring a friend when you shoot at night! Especially in the city!
Lol
Why?
Can my friend be a 9mm?
Safety reasons lol
What if you dont have friends?
If you don’t have a remote, a good way for activating the shutter without getting blur is using a 2 second timer
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.
THESE TIPS ARE SICK
fact
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)!
I was about to throw this in comment section. Didn't even have to scroll that much :P
One more tip: carry a pepper spray!
Or a 9mm🤷♂️
MostTechy or be asian and know kungfu
Why is that?
Carry spray paint😂
SnipesXRage I normally carry 35mm, 9mm wouldn’t work in my camera
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.
i dont have a camera but this tip work well and i finally able to take a stable picture with my phone
what a tough night shift it was haha good times
Haha. Its funny cause its true - THANKS FOR MAKING ME LOOK BOSS
Yeah... you guys make everything look way to easy!!
Got a question though. No bromance video of Matti and Peter? lol Bromance Level 2k!
nah dude its cold af
I love this tutorial. Most professionals have expensive cameras and just say "bump up the ISO when it's night". This tutorials takes cheaper gears with bad iso performance into consideration too. Cheers!
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.
I'm the exact opposite. My best work by FAR is my night work. I adore shooting at night. The energy, the hidden details, the light. Love it. Another great tutorial.
hell yeahhh.
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.
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!
DOD Media Great idea!
Subbed
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?
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.
Long exposure, 4,5,6..10 seconds and 2nd curtain sync. Thant's all. Make sure your model is at right place.
TIP: If you don't have a remote, download the canon app and shoot from your phone or device. Or 2 second timer.
700D doesn't have the WiFi connection option
2 second timer is the best option by far
because the canon m50 u can not have a remote like what is shown in the video.
@@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.
that's actually even better than a remote
Could you do more Low Light Tutorials? More on the Long Exposures process, which cameras are better at night, what kind of ISO Setting are more prominent for clearer night photos?.
Hey Bro, just wanted to thank you for your vids. I recently decided to explore my photography hobby more seriously and your content has been extremely helpful. It's also helped with training my own eyes to see certain things differently. Thanks from la
Franke Prater sammme brotha its amazing how creative you can get a night time
I'm from LA too bro
Komo Mo awesome! I just went out to try some evening shots
Same!!!
Nice! I gotta go at it again, first couple of times didn't go well lol
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 :)
Me: Wants to take good photos
Video: Tripod
Me: *has no money
Me: *cries
I got my main travel tripod for like a dollar at a garage sale.
Every time I’m at goodwill I see one for a few dollars
Joshua Keen I ain’t got no Goodwill here in Aus. Welp
Check thrift stores regularly, I picked up an amazing tripod for $2
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.
Night time photography with a lot of neon light reminds me of the film Blade Runner.
To have such atmosphere, it goes to show how good the cinematography of that film was.
I already watch most of your video. But today I clicked the subscribed button. I'm loving it.
mary claire Malaque I have subscribed him with 3 different accounts, even by this account I have a youtube channel associated with .
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.
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.
I felt in love with photography in college back in Brazil. I live in the US now and I never worked with it but photography has been my passion. Your videos are gold. Thanks for sharing your real world knowledge.
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.
that intro before the intro
why am I watching this? im not a photographer, I never even try to vlog at night... but oh wait ITS PETER MCKINNON! thats why
Literally same 😂
HAH, that's exactly what I was thinking.
same.
Me too
don't even own a camera but i watch every video
oh man... your videos are sparkling my passion for photography. I'm gonna start shooting again!
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!
I liked this video before and now i want to like it again
Wet streets, so that’s why Hollywood night shots always look so epic! Damn, I feel like a detective that just found a clue...
Peter you are a blessing.
all you do now is just say amen everyday, cause we anyone with a camera pray for you.
keep it up Man
"Pop your camera on you tripod", more like *spend 10 min trying to match the screw to the hole in the camera and then keep missing it*😅
Accurate
Get a tripod with a quick disconnect, mine has it, its amazing and has made life a million times easier
Try a head lamp
@@tristanhesse7520 yeah but that's a pain in the ass having that little metal thing on your camera all the time so you end up taking it off and now you have to spend another 10 minutes trying to get the plate thing into the clamp after finally getting the screw thing in the hole.
Evidently it's too late to reply but you can try keeping the base plate attached to camera even when camera is not on tripod. Worked for me.
Quick tip: if you don’t have a remote and don’t want to get one you can use a 2 second timer!!!!
You save my money!!!
Not all cameras have a timer. Especially the older bodies
@@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.
Canon has an app that I use on my phone that works as a remote. It works very well!
@@shawnazelinsky5806 hey, what camera do you have? Is it an average priced one, because I really wanna get a camera! =D
Wow, that beginning felt like the intro to an amazing movie... Ahhh, the shots with the voiceover and cuts are just perfect!
Thanks Ben!
What I love about peter channel doesn't matter how many years past his video always giving me new information. Every time I go to take photos at night time I don't do it a lot, this video is always useful to watch.
Peter McKinnon your awesome man. The way you use your personality to teach others and the skill you have to back that all up is awesome. You are inspiring me to step out of my comfort zone and to do something I love. I can't get enough of your videos as they are all refreshing. Keep up the amazing work. It would be awesome to run into you some time.
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.
I’m so inspired to shoot EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW AND I JUST DOWNED 2 CUPS OF COFFEE AND I THINK IM HAVING HEART PALPITATIONS
Alyssamay LaBanca hahahah. That’s hilarious.
One of my most favourite videos of you @peter mckinnon It's just a perfect time to improve your photography skills and its so quiet outside and you can be very creative, play with lights etc.
Love the honesty, the knowledge and the community on Pete’s channel 🙏🏼
I'm a recent subscriber so I've been catching up on a LOT of your videos. And one thing I think after each one is, ****, I've learned more in a few minutes than I did from all the high school, college and beyond classes I've had...combined. Very similar to my Spanish knowledge, actually. 8 years of classes and I learned more from one weekend in Tijuana (don't ask).
I think your title should be changed to Professor.
Pando What happened in Tijuana?
Lol
The way you learned spanish is how I learned english, and trying to learn german
@Francisco dann wünsche Ich dir viel Spaß dabei :D "Der, Die, Das" werden dein Leben zerstören :D
Sami Salami mein deutsche ist sheitße :P
Dude, I just love your vibe...I just “discovered” you recently and make a point to check out one of your videos every day. It’s been inspiring as I’ve been getting more involved in photography over the last couple of years and it’s a heck of a lot of fun. Thx for sharing your passion!
The water bottle advice was amazing ☺️ cant wait to try it out
"ooo, fun" Ahah love it.
dudeee yes I watched that part like 10 times! haha
That B-roll... so smooth! 🤤
Yea I thought that (as I always do!). My Panasonic GH4 just can't pull that off in low light. Way too noisy.
Hey Pete, Thanks for the great tips on Nightshooting. The science of finding light when it's a at a premium. I just had opportunity to shoot a highway with the twilight as the background, I used a 15 second exposure with the camera balanced on the steering wheel of my car. They came out like nothing I've ever seen before!! Two thumbs up!!
I totally relate to this!! This video and the video with Brandons work really inspired to start shooting at night📷🙌🏻
Nice! I've always avoided filming and taking photos at night but after seeing this I might have to give it a shot!
That is AWESOME! Great tutorial, thank you for including us!
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 :)
Lume Cube someone at Lume Cube please Sponsor this man, me and my fellow shutterbugs went out and bought some of your products because of this video! Very happy with the lighthouse
you guys are gonna get some serious business now haha

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!
Thank you for this wonder crash course. Very well done.
Smashing that like button, because YES, it's something I am into!
Hey man! Love your videos!
Im a total newbie to camera stuff. I have an EOS 1300D.
Still scratch my head every time i go into manual and see all those settings!
But since I’ve found your channel I’ve learned tons of information, simple but very informative! So thank you keep up the great work!
Darzy nothin beats just going around and learning as you go🤟🏼
Same here
@Oh yeah yeah ah why should u ruin people's mood bro
@Oh yeah yeah u are b**ch ass nigga. Use your God given brains and understand. U dont belong here.
I am a beginner and believe me... I saw a number of tutorials....
Till date.... U r the best... U explain the concepts rather than just giving technical explanations.
Thanks Peter
I have been enjoying your photography vlogs, it's been so amazing getting back into taking photos. Thank you for your inspiration.
After 5 years of photography research, I finally managed to save money and get myself a brand new camera just because you've been pushing one of the RUclipsrs that pushed me to feel more and more inspired to start actually doing it. Thank you, Peter!
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.
Plot twist: Hold your camera with a tripod if you take your hands off the camera, otherwise the camera will fall down
Xavier Molet Vendrell
Lol. I just drop my camera for the effect
I am new to your channel and I already LOVE your videos! The content, the way you film, the energy you have in every video is very unique! Made a playlist for photography and adding every single one of your videos to it! I just bought a D3500 so I'm pretty excited to learning new things from you bro! Love the work, keep it up my man
Omg that water bottle tip to get reflections. AMAZING. Thank you so much!
Peter i think you are awesome and a person of great potential....a leader and a great teacher you make things easy and understandable ...keep up the great work and i wish that all your dreams and aspirations come true...you seem like an person which thrives on getting things just right and never gives up...keep it up....take care ttys
i do alot of night photography peter... its true that when I started out it was really hard and intimidating but when I got the hang of it it was really awesome shots and different from day photography
when I do portrait shots I usually use a flash (of camera) light from my phone or a simple flash light to do it... I wish I could show you some of my work so that you can give me your thoughts and teach me tips so that I cab improve my art
Love your channel!! Thank you for helping us all up our game!!!
This is the BY FAR!!!! BEST USE OF MY RECOMMENDS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
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. 👍🏻
I m in love with ur videos Peter McKinnon
Love this mr. Peter
Hi Peter! Just found your videos and I super love it! Thank you for sharing!
I feel like school is overrated now that youtube and google exist. ;) Thank you for the information.
That was actually the slickest intro ever! Soooo good!
Oh yeah! I agree!
i watched this video a year and a half ago and it was the first i had seen of your videos when i started getting into photography and now ur my fav photography youtuber and ive learned so much from this channel. just had to comment when this video popped back up coz its the one that started it all for me
Loved the night aesthetics ❤️🔥
One way I evade using the remote is going to the settings on my camera and putting a timer on for 2 or 10 seconds. It work marvelously! Another great video Peter, much love from Perú!
Sebastian Orue que hermoso país que tenes para fotografiar! Abrazo :D
+Francisco Fridlmeier ni qué hablar! Es un país con muchísimos escenarios jaja. Y tú de qué país eres?
Argentina, pero estoy viviendo en Múnich, Alemania
+Francisco Fridlmeier ah mira qué interesante. Yo fui a inicios del 2017 e hice unos cuantos vídeos que están en mi canal. Si deseas te das una vuelta por él
Sebastian Orue genial! Yo visité Peru hace 5 años, hermoso
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
Hunt Film Reload Productions this is really good advice
Thanks so much for the infos, great vid, keep up the good work
Thanks for the videos and sharing some knowledge!!!! Loving it 🤘🏼
Would love to see an example of your editing process for night shots as well!
Says he doesn’t like night photography as he proceeds to create night time B-roll masterpiece😂🤣
Great video. I love your enthusiasm! It's totally contagious.
I genuinely enjoy your videos man keep up the great work! I’m going to do a bunch of landscape, night, and astro photography next week when I’m in Washington State, can’t wait 🙌🏼
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😊
You are super positive person. Thumbs up !
Positivity is ke
I love night photography, I did a mini series at midnight on an old playground and just used an old torch to run all over the equipment creating trails. Like a ghost was playing or something. Super fun and your video reminds me that I need to get out there and do it again.
I love that in the intro he is talking about photography, but the videography and cinematography levels are really up there, it just shows the large range of skill level this guy has
The thumbnail is BEAUTIFUL as is the video. Thanks for the cool content peter!!!
Jallison agreed
Night photography is like a whole new world! I see colors through my.lenses that my own eyes can't see it's awesome..
Another way to avoid camera shake is setting up a delay! I dont have a remote but i tend to use a 5-10 second delay and it works great. BUT if youre trying to capture a specific moving object like a car ... might be tough
love you and all your content man!
yes! finally found someone who explains photography so well, thnkyu!
ProTip: It does reflect even more if you use Fiji water.
Kleon Malk hahhahahhahahhaahahahahahh
You’re crazy inspiring 👊🏼
Thanks Pete! I am a beginner @ photography and would like to take it more serious. I appreciate all your videos, really helps a lot!!! KEEP IT UP!
2-year-old video that is fantastic in 2020! Thanks Peter!
For me what got me into photography was shooting at night. I’d watch all these videos about photography rules and I didn’t understand how NOTHING worked for me. But it’s because night time shooting breaks every rule in the book! Nonetheless shooting at night is so fun and you get awesome photos.
Same here man. I am very surprised Peter doesn't do night photography but Toronto is a very different place to LA, NY or Dallas, where I am snapping night shots. I plan on doing a RUclips channel with lots of night photography tips. Cheers - Joseph, IG @josephhaubert
Word! I love taking shots at night! I was friggin surprised to hear that he doesn't really do night photography. I'm just an amateur but a lot of my best photos happen at night.
Jay_Slash_DRM Everyone has their own style and preferences.
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
Tell me your Twitter or Insta once you've done some so I can see what you have shot
Sure man, my instagram is linked on my channel, do you have instagram too?
This is the second video I watch from Peter McKinnon and this guy just earned a subscription. It's like he wants me to explore my photographer side. Which I'm not, but now I want to. Great video, dude. And I love your Canadian accent BTW..
I'm in love with your tutorials!
For one month I decided to not watch youtube vids for the sake of productivity in my life......... BUT my one exception was Peter Mckinnon OBVIOUSLY
Awww ya!!!
Peter McKinnon for the longest time I only shot nightphotography😂😂😂😂
Jack Oliver
Did it work?
Jack Oliver
How did you do that, being a RUclipsr myself and having some favourites such as Pete, idk how to stay away from RUclips.
I really want to do this. But I feel like I need to stay updated and inspired by some youtubers, 😩. Case in point, peter, Casey, travelfeels, Chris hau. 👌🏽👌🏽 But it’s just one month right?
I don’t use a remote I set my camera it to a 2’s delay. Thanks for the inspiration!
So insightful and inspiring. 🤙🏽 you the man pete!
love your work man
