    Watched this movie over a solid 50 times. I just love it, it changed my life from being a musician and am now enjoying my nights in peace. It's a better world when you have time to stand back and observe it in front of you. Nothing is more rewarding than a successful composition. Thanks for all the help and inspiration.

    I always come back and watch this video every couple months or so. It is where I come home to. This video changed my life and made me pick up a camera. I can't thank you enough Lance. Got your book and already can't wait for the next. From the bottom of my heart...thank you I have found peace when I go shoot and it is so beautiful. Keep up the good work. :)

    An inspiring video. I'm a beginner. I've been shooting night photography for about 3 months now. I've even gotten a couple of my mates into it. It's unbelievable what you can bring to life at night. I really enjoyed seeing some of your brilliant work. Thank you

    Hi! Thanks for your video on Night Photography. I have just started to get interested in Night Photography. I live in the Lincolnshire Wolds which has many old and abandoned farm buildings which I have been exploring. Your use of artificial light has inspired me to try it out (I am charging my torch batteries as I speak). Thanks again. Michael. Swinhope. Lincolnshire Wolds.

    I really enjoyed this video. Night photography is about 75% of what I shoot. When I shoot during the day I just don't see the same beauty that I do at night. It's always great to find other nocturnal photographers. I look forward to attending one of your seminars someday.

    @libertywagon3197 11 лет назад +1

    Thank you Lance! I've watched the vid again a few times (with my daughter too) and I still enjoy it every time! Years ago I had a color darkroom and experimented with long exposures. I'm proud of most of my work but, with digital now I'm totally excited. I used a cable or air actuator to open and close the shutter. How do you do the same thing now with a DSLR? Can't wait to get started. I've taken your advice regarding camera selection. There are some great used cameas available! Thanks!

  • @thargor2k
    @thargor2k 12 лет назад +1

    I love night photography. I think one of the interesting things about it is that one normally can't see what you can capture on camera at night. Not even at lower shutter speed, since the human eye switches into a (not completely) "monochromatic" mode, so you basically don't see saturated colors at night, while you camera can...

    Use low ISO, bulb exposure, you may want to turn your noise reduction on (not sure the Canon has it) and shoot in RAW mode. Also test your lenses for leaking light. Most importantly, have fun and experiment.

  • @LanceKeimig
    @LanceKeimig  11 лет назад

    Thanks! That's high praise! Any current Canon or Nikon DSLR will work well for NPy, but I recommend stepping up one notch from entry level if you can afford it. New is key tho- the technology is constantly improving by leaps and bounds. Other brands are ok- Pentax, Sony, etc, but Canon and Nikon have the bulk of the market share for good reason.

    @skyephoto That's great to hear! Motherwell's a little bit south there and I've only been doing photography for about a year or so with much to learn. I feel more comfortable with urban decay etc, I find it more interesting with sneaking about, which is absolutely terrible and terrifying when done alone.

    A remote for the camera will enable you to set your shutter speed to the "Bulb" setting which allows you to open, and close the shutter at your command.

  • @LanceKeimig
    @LanceKeimig  11 лет назад

    It's a creative decision as much as a technical one. It depends on the effect you are trying to achieve. You should test your camera to determine what is the highest ISO you can use that will give you acceptable image quality for your specific needs.

  • @mchume65
    @mchume65 7 лет назад

    Just a thought. I'm intrigued by the technique of light
    painting. So what about the difference of color temperature between modern LED
    lights vs. old fashion incandescent light bulbs? I would think that the two
    types could lead to more interesting possibilities.
    I first got into photography around 1980 with a Ricoh 35mm
    using mostly Kodachrome 64 slide film. Then life got in the way and I drifted
    out of the hobby. Later when digital cameras started to appear, they just weren't
    very good or too expensive. Now, after see what my brothers modern Pentax
    cameras were capable of, I now have a renewed interest. Just bought a Pentax
    K50 now I have a lot to learn and relearn.

  • @LanceKeimig
    @LanceKeimig  11 лет назад

    You're off to a good start- just keep practicing! Try lighting your objects/scenes from multiple points/directions, use a baseline exposure for the background that is about 2 stops underexposed, and trying lighting from 90-180 degrees from the camera position.
