NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY - Playing with the darkness . . .

For a good photograph, many things keep a lot of importance such as angle, frame, spot, light, focusing. But one of the most important aspect of a good photograph is light.

A photograph with good bright light catches your attention better than a photograph with bad lighting.

But night photographs, if taken properly also give a very beautiful view. Lets talk about landscaping at night. Flash wont work. Higher ISO will bring in lot of noice in photographs. Lower shutterspeed is difficult to handle. Focusing a big issue as autofocus rarely works in low light.

I had a trial session with such problems. I started searching in google for that. Got some very useful tips.

You need a tripod, a remote and a subject, and yes a camera ofcourse.

I too got a subject for myself, nothing else than Bidar fort. Got into the fort secretly at around 2215 hours. Note that fort closes at 1700 hours.

Pich dark, some light coming from moon helped a lot though. It was very difficult to even focus on the walls of the fort manually. Chilling winds, and cool climate of February. Took out my camera, set it to manual and started clicking with the help of tripod. Some shots taken lying on the road while some from top of my scorpio.

It was not playing with the light, but 'PLAYING WITH THE DARKNESS'.

Sky shows you its different colours at night. With extremely slow shutter speed, the moving clouds gives a very classic background, the fort walls appears reddish and no grains.

In short, my personal opinion is that i loved the Night clicking of subject with minimal lights.

Following are few clicks.
