About this video : Paul from Photo Genius shows you how to take amazing photos at night using Shutter Priority mode, featuring the Nikon Z6 and D3500.
I watched a lot of tips for beginners for night photography and so far this is the most simplest yet informative one. Thank you!
Great to hear you enjoyed the video - appreciate the feedback. Please consider subscribing - new videos every week 🙂
@@photogenius : have to say I learned a lot from ur one video than I have from other TY
Which lens used to take photo in back?
Yeah they forget to explain a ton of stuff
It is..
Absolutely agree with comments re Paul’s exploitation/teaching. He doesn’t talk to show what he knows .... he talks to ensure the viewer learns. Love this channel. Thanks mate.
Thank you for not rambling on pointlessly like some other youtubers and just getting straight to the point! Very easy to follow along, clear and concise. You are a good teacher. Thank you!
this man is the exact reason I have gotten better in photography!!
The information given is straight forward and easy to understand. I love how things like shutter speed are explained, what it is, and why you want the settings being suggested.
Paul, you’re amazing, thanks for the tips. I’m getting great pics thanks to you!
Pretty much any time I am shooting at night (in a city), I always use the exact same settings: 8 second shutter speed, F16 aperture, ISO 100. I will set the camera to these settings just as the sun is setting and then just wait patiently for the sky to get dark enough to give me a proper exposure with these settings. When the exposure meter shows that I am properly exposed, I hit the button (with a timer set like you suggested to avoid camera shake). It gives me a beautiful image every time!
Have you ever thought of using a higher quality f-stop? Seems f16 would be a poor choice, especially under low light- given light refraction, softening and what not. Might try using say, f7.1 or f8, and then adjusting your exposure time accordingly. Image exposure results should be the same in theory, but your image will probably be much sharper since you'd be using a better quality f-stop.
@@jaybrown4526 Hmmm, I'd be willing to give your suggestion a try sometime. I tend to prefer F16 for two main reasons. 1. I like the star effect that it gives to city lights and 2. These settings usually give me still a little bit of light detail in the sky so you can see clouds and maybe a light glow from the sun below the horizon. If I were to lower the F-stop to something like F8, that would make the image twice as bright and therefore, would require me to wait longer into the evening for the sky to get darker. As the sky gets darker, I then lose those details that F16 gave me. At least, that's my way of thinking, but like I said, I'd be willing to try your suggestion sometime.
@@nathanbgermanTheoretically, if you were to use F/8, you’d get 4x the light. Then adjusting your exposure time down to 2 seconds is a good first guess to get the same amount of light. Might be worth a try at least
Hey what mode do u shoot in?
The photo genius tutorials are always explicit, to the point and very easy to understand. Too many youtube tutorials either go off on irrelevant tangents or they miss some of the small but very significant details that can make the difference when you trying to improve your photography.
One of the only videos on this particular subject that actually makes sense! Thank you!
Awesome tutorial ! Very quick, straight to the point, very informative with examples. It's a mini-course winner! Subscribed.
I like the way you deliver your subject matter, like this one. You make it look simple and yet adequately explained. This makes your video time just right. Not too long and boring, and yet not too short, thus missing some important details. I always look forward to watch each of your video releases. By the way, I use a Canon DSLR, so I hope you would incorporate instructions using this brand, even when you explain your instructions using a Nikon camera as the main example Looking forward to more of your videos, Paul!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I'm an absolute beginner and you've given me the confidence to go out tonight and have a go at capturing some great night photos! Thanks again Paul!
Thanks for the feedback Evan, I hope you got some great night photos.
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 👍
As someone who struggles to keep focus and wants to learn on on my own, I absolutely love your content! Thanks so much for this. You give very easy to follow directions on how to operate cameras. I hope I can turn out some great photos like yourself!
Great tips and stunning photos! I'll try these settings on the bright signs of Tokyo.
You are so great iv watched so many of your videos on the Nikon D3500 and iv actually learned something. Your so much better than my photography tutor in college, he always says to me “it’s your camera you should know” he don’t have a clue what he talks about. Honestly your such a great tutor thanks
GREAT review Paul! Continue with the awesome tutorials and DIY!
The perfect video for me....no bs random talk, just straight shooting, awesome job thanks
Glad to be of help - thanks for supporting my channel.
I've been taking photos for 30 years and I'm learning quite a bit from your channel. I've made several changes to my camera settings. Thanks and well done.
I just started playing with my Nikon camera today and your videos have been so helpful to me thank you so much for the clear but short helpful informations! Simply the best on RUclips 👍
Brilliant. Informative, accessible, “best in class”. All tutorial videos should be like this.
Great information, clear, concise and I feel really confident to go out and take some great night shots! Thanks
The way you explain in your videos, phenomenal!
Thank you for expliaining it in simple terms that I can understand. I am only just getting into photography properly in my late 60's so need all the help I can get
Me too. Birds at night - owls - is what I am looking to capture, but being a beginner..... May we have a successful adventure with this new hobby!
Exceptional overview and great, gentle explanation. You really are an expert and a great person to boot. Thoroughly enjoyed all your clips. Many, many heartfelt thanks for taking the time to explain everything.
Thank you. Articulate, clear and in laymen's terms video. Been flying drones for 4 years. It has led me into "real" photography. And I'm ready to step out of "Auto" mode. I have a Sony A6100 so all the features you pointed out are also on this camera, which made it very easy to follow. And yes, my favorite type of photography is low-light stuff.
Totally enjoying this. Paul makes it basic, sometimes we already feel inadequate enough. Photography can be technical and scary!
I learned more from this short 4-minute video than I did from hours of reading a (Nikon "Z" specific) book I had purchased. Thank you!
Brilliant thank you! I’ve just bought a Canon 4000D and can not wait to get out into the beautiful landscape here in Caithness (North Scotland) to take wonderful photos that I can paint from! Your videos are so good, so easy for someone not too technically minded to follow! 😊
This video has some great tips! I've been doing some night photography at Tempe town Lake in AZ and I haven't been able to get the grain under control. I'll definitely keep this in mine next time I go!
Thank you for a clear explanation of what beginners need to know. Great job!
You have the best photography channel available on RUclips. Thank you.
I am very happy I found this channel. Now, the photography does not look like a "wild beast" to me anymore. I have watched so many "training" videos from other RUclipsrs that were not understandable or confusing for a beginner like myself. Paul Farris explains everything with such clarity and with helpful tips. I am appalled (in a good way) how much I have learned for the past 40 minutes just by watching his three vids.
P. S. I think the "dislikes" are left by some pro-photographers, who are afraid that Paul is giving out their true secrets :-)
Thank you so much Alexei for your support and kind words, I really appreciate your support 👍
Paul.
Just got in to photography and was feeling overwhelmed. I've watched 2 very informative videos so far! I'm hooked, definitely going to subscribe! great tips
Love your channel mate! I’m new to photography and your content is everything!!!
Thank you for your contribution to photography learning. I have watched many videos on RUclips and your videos are the most informative and less confusing. You explain settings well and provide clean and concise scenarios. I can't wait to see how much I improve with the knowledge you have provided me.
Wow, thanks! I so appreciate the kind feedback and support for my channel.
Best wishes Cameron.
Paul 👍
Thank you. Very helpful. I expended around 2 hours looking for this information in google and RUclips. Well explained
Thank you for the excellent lessons on using my new camera. I have the Canon EOS T7 and it really helps seeing you make the settings instead of just reading about it.
I really enjoy the fact that you give examples of settings and results - THANK YOU!
You are so welcome - appreciate the support.
Such a great video!! So helpful, thank you!!!
Common sense advice and to the point. Well done and THANKS!!!! Let me go further after shooting a ton of pictures at night last week my frustration turned into enthusiasm. Cannot thank you enough!!!!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
I always love the way you teach us,we understand so much,you are such a great teacher,Thank you so much.
I learnt a lot in this 14 minutes video! Definitely subscribing, and looking for more of your video now. Thank you so much!
I've just purchased my Nikon d3500 recently. Can't wait to use at night. Thanks for the great video.
So helpful! The ISO and Self timer tip were game changers for me. Def Subbed!
Ty for these great tips! I've always struggled with taking night time / low light photos.
PS: You take incredibly stunning photos.
Thank you for such an easy to understand tutorial. I just bought a Lumix ZS200 and so I will try taking a couple of night shots with it soon using your tips for camera settings for beginner level night photography
Very well put together, easy to grasp. Can’t wait to try your tips.
Thank you for watching - hope you get some great results.
Done my 1st night photography with canon 2000d accordingly to your settings and got awesome results!!! 👌👌👍👍 thanks for posting helpful videos!!
Thanks. I’ve done a couple of courses, and all the rules were that night photography is fully manual. I tried a couple last night using Tv (Canon) on ISO 100, very happy with the results.
The courses were right and this video is wrong.
I've been using a (very old!!!) D3000 for years & years and hardly every take it off auto mode. I've learned more, watching this 14 min video, than I have in the last 13 years lugging this old camera around mindlessly pointing and shooting. This sounds ridicilous but I'm delighted & inspired after watching these tips. I've taken 12,000+ photos with my D3000 and the 12 that I took while watching this video are STUNNING. Thank you.
I really enjoy these videos you have, especially when they are targeted toward the beginner. They help so much , Cheers.
Thanks so much! You keep thing direct and simple to understand.
Great!! Exactly what I needed!
Good video Paul. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic - thanks SO Much. Hoping these tips will apply to the jazz club where I work (dark room other than the stage is lit). Much appreciated!
Simple and to the point, definitely like this video!
Thank you, please consider subscribing - new videos every week.
