Shooting in Low Light
This is something that I really enjoy and by T&E I have found some fun stuff to use. My first, and still favourite, is speed priority (Tv on Canon) and Id get out before dawn and set up with a bean bag or a tripod and practice until I got the lighting I liked. Basically I set a 10 sec. delay and I use a remote on anything slower than ¼ second but even then I prefer to use the remote as much as possible because the camera can sense the movement of clicking. Remember that in a sunrise the setting will be changed often so you have to check the lighting in each shot almost and after the sun sets it is the same deal.
There are also ND filters of which you can use two or three if you care to, as this gives you a chance to do low light stuff in daytime. The for is that doing, say, a sunset you can start earlier and then as it gets darker, you can take off the filter or continue on using more time of exposure. The against is that the ND filter will change the colours a bit, but that can be taken care of in Lightroom.
I did a shoot tonight after sunset and will post later on. All done in speed priority (Tv) and hand held. Back

All these were shot at ~ 50 mm tonight and untouched.
Now you can see a progressive darkening in each one here. As you do these shoots, try all kinds of settings and whe ndoing sequences, don't forget to note the focal point, only for a personal reference as you might want t odo anothersequence with another focal point using the same speeds as the first sequence. Call this having fun while experimenting

The sunrise was disappointing (no clouds) so I learned to look a little harder for nice low light.

Thanks RR...I love to learn about my camera and experiment...I dont have a good tripod..so I dont like using it...but I am going to invest in a better one..lighter and more maneuverable...those shots are so pretty and I can see how the different settings are used...nicely done and informative...thanks!
