big Neil 943 Posted July 17, 2016 Is there anybody on here who's good at taking photos in the dark? I have a Canon EOS which (generally) takes good pictures in low light conditions. I still can't work out how to take pictures in the dark with it, though. I know that a tripod is best and a slow aperture speed and the correct setting...yet still haven't been able to make it turn into any decent pictures. Any suggestions from anyone? Cheers, Neil the inquisitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cargo05 1 Posted July 17, 2016 I am not sure of your camera Neil, but look for Bulb in your settings. It is for shutter speed which will allow long exposure times. You may need a Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote Controller, or similar, as well. There are plenty of good tutorials on the net for this type of photography. These links may be of assistance: http://improvephotography.com/958/bulb-mode-photography-long-exposure-night/, http://mcpactions.com/2011/03/07/night-photography-how-to-take-successful-pictures-at-dark-part-1/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manual mode is better as you can set the shutter speed and light but again a tripod is the way to go. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnDory 2 Posted July 21, 2016 Neil There are is quite a bit of info on the net about shooting in the dark Also depending on what EOS you have you can get apps to drive the camera hands free from your phone or IPad Otherwise a remote shutter button would definitely help The photos of "my Wiliy" back a few pages were taken using remote shooting using my EOS 70D from my iPad Give it a Google a go "Night photography Canon eos ??" I'm sure you find heaps JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My EOS is a Rebel T3 and I need to study up a bit more about low light photography. Will check out the Google links and see what they suggest. Cheers, Neil.

I am always looking at photographing birds,(of the feathered kind). Two shots come to mind, the first is a Fairy Wren that was watching me at Kurnell. The other is a Blue Faced Honey Eater that was feeding young at South West Rocks. Looking foreward's to some special shots. grandad HI mate The Superb Fairy-wren photo depicts a male in his eclipse plumage. He retains the blue in the tail.
