Project 52: Week 8 - Low Light

**EL2** · 02-18-2013, 02:14 AM

Thought we might want to try something different for our Week 8 project, which is LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

According to Wikepedia: Low light photography or Night photography refers to photographs taken outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light and using a long exposure, exposing the scene for seconds, minutes, and even hours in order to give the film or digital sensor enough time to capture a usable image. With the progress of high-speed films, higher-sensitivity digital image sensors, wide-aperture lenses, and the ever-greater power of urban lights, night photography is increasingly possible using available light.

Here is a great website that gives you tips on low light photography here

Have fun EVERYONE! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Here is my first try. These are not outdoor photos. But I used artificial light coming from the laptop.

El, great shot! pretty dang good seeing u only used the laptop light. You should take the same shot with your son laying on his belly feet up and crossed watching a cartoon movie on the laptop. Although u might have to pause the movie to get the shot. Just an idea

El! You're making this wait even harder! The closer it gets, and the more Mk III photos I see from you (especially the low light), the more I want that dang thing! This theme is coming a little too early for me

I'll definitely see what I can do though. I have one idea in mind. Hopefully I can get out there and get it done this week.

Tialee thanks for that idea.

Stephanie - I know when you get your MK3 you'll do wonders with it. ISO was really high, I think it was at 12800... yikes... lol. But DH was such a sport about it.
