Dec 14, 2008 - great videos!! they are REALLY helpful, thank you for posting this material and taking the time to make this. I'm really interested in learning about astrophotography (without telescopes, i'm interested in taking long exposure pics of the vault of heaven and things like that), and i was wondering if you could give me some advices about it

Dec 17, 2008 - i have a question coz im still a newbie in photography. do you recommend higher iso's in night photography and in low light situations? coz i often get blurry or grainy photos when i turn the ISO up. cheers:)
cameralabs Says:
Dec 17, 2008 - If you have a tripod then I'd recommend using a low ISO and a long shutter speed for the best quality - just what I said in the video! There's more info at dslrtips . com.

Dec 19, 2008 - Nice tips & tricks how to get a decent image quality during the night. How about the metering do I need to keep using the evaluative metering ?

Dec 19, 2008 - Hi Gordon, just curious on the subject of Aperture. While the lowest F number will let in the most light, if taking a landscape will you loose alot of sharp focus on objects in the shot? thanks.
cameralabs Says:
Dec 19, 2008 - Thanks! You're actually ignoring the metering here because you're shooting in manual and choosing the result which looks best to you...
cameralabs Says:
Dec 19, 2008 - Thanks! Do please send them to my site dslrtips . com though!
cameralabs Says:
Dec 19, 2008 - This is true and has been discussed in other posts below and on the dslrtips . com webpage for this tutorial. You can increase the f-number for a bigger depth of field, but it will subsequently need a longer exposure - and if it goes beyond 30 seconds, most DSLRs will need an optional cable release.

Dec 29, 2008 - What is the best aperture and shutter-speed to get bedroom pictures like in pornography/glamour modelling? Somebody kindly answered me before but I lost the message. I have two 500w tungsten lights but no reflectors--are these necessary? I was told also to use blue filters for these types of light, but all my experiments (for skin-tone on bed) are bad and still look like polaroids. Please someine set me right. Thanks
cameralabs Says:
Dec 29, 2008 - Sorry, I can't help you. This tutorial is about taking photos of lights at night, not glamour photography!

Jan 2, 2009 - Dont open up your aperture the whole way... DOF should also be a consideration. Especially if say you are doing a cityscape. Wide open your DOF will become shallow. If you're using a tripod, (which you should be) aperture doesn't really matter. If you have any sort of noise reduction for your camera turn it on. It'll help with the image sensor heating up and creating more noise due to the longer shutter speed.

Jan 4, 2009 - Thanks for the helpful tutorial. What if you are attempting to capture a portrait in a night (city street or otherwise lit background) setting? Even a 1/2" shutter speed would be too slow, it seems.
