About this video : Paul from Photo Genius shows you how to take amazing photos at night using Shutter Priority mode, featuring the Nikon Z6 and D3500.
Absolutely agree with comments re Paul’s exploitation/teaching. He doesn’t talk to show what he knows .... he talks to ensure the viewer learns. Love this channel. Thanks mate.
I watched a lot of tips for beginners for night photography and so far this is the most simplest yet informative one. Thank you!
Great to hear you enjoyed the video - appreciate the feedback. Please consider subscribing - new videos every week 🙂
@@photogenius : have to say I learned a lot from ur one video than I have from other TY
Which lens used to take photo in back?
Yeah they forget to explain a ton of stuff
It is..
Thank you for not rambling on pointlessly like some other youtubers and just getting straight to the point! Very easy to follow along, clear and concise. You are a good teacher. Thank you!
this man is the exact reason I have gotten better in photography!!
Pretty much any time I am shooting at night (in a city), I always use the exact same settings: 8 second shutter speed, F16 aperture, ISO 100. I will set the camera to these settings just as the sun is setting and then just wait patiently for the sky to get dark enough to give me a proper exposure with these settings. When the exposure meter shows that I am properly exposed, I hit the button (with a timer set like you suggested to avoid camera shake). It gives me a beautiful image every time!
Have you ever thought of using a higher quality f-stop? Seems f16 would be a poor choice, especially under low light- given light refraction, softening and what not. Might try using say, f7.1 or f8, and then adjusting your exposure time accordingly. Image exposure results should be the same in theory, but your image will probably be much sharper since you'd be using a better quality f-stop.
@@jaybrown4526 Hmmm, I'd be willing to give your suggestion a try sometime. I tend to prefer F16 for two main reasons. 1. I like the star effect that it gives to city lights and 2. These settings usually give me still a little bit of light detail in the sky so you can see clouds and maybe a light glow from the sun below the horizon. If I were to lower the F-stop to something like F8, that would make the image twice as bright and therefore, would require me to wait longer into the evening for the sky to get darker. As the sky gets darker, I then lose those details that F16 gave me. At least, that's my way of thinking, but like I said, I'd be willing to try your suggestion sometime.
@@nathanbgermanTheoretically, if you were to use F/8, you’d get 4x the light. Then adjusting your exposure time down to 2 seconds is a good first guess to get the same amount of light. Might be worth a try at least
Thank you for expliaining it in simple terms that I can understand. I am only just getting into photography properly in my late 60's so need all the help I can get
Me too. Birds at night - owls - is what I am looking to capture, but being a beginner..... May we have a successful adventure with this new hobby!
Thanks. I’ve done a couple of courses, and all the rules were that night photography is fully manual. I tried a couple last night using Tv (Canon) on ISO 100, very happy with the results.
The courses were right and this video is wrong.
Paul, you’re amazing, thanks for the tips. I’m getting great pics thanks to you!
The way you explain in your videos, phenomenal!
The information given is straight forward and easy to understand. I love how things like shutter speed are explained, what it is, and why you want the settings being suggested.
I am very happy I found this channel. Now, the photography does not look like a "wild beast" to me anymore. I have watched so many "training" videos from other TH-camrs that were not understandable or confusing for a beginner like myself. Paul Farris explains everything with such clarity and with helpful tips. I am appalled (in a good way) how much I have learned for the past 40 minutes just by watching his three vids.
P. S. I think the "dislikes" are left by some pro-photographers, who are afraid that Paul is giving out their true secrets :-)
Thank you so much Alexei for your support and kind words, I really appreciate your support 👍
Paul.
GREAT review Paul! Continue with the awesome tutorials and DIY!
The perfect video for me....no bs random talk, just straight shooting, awesome job thanks
Glad to be of help - thanks for supporting my channel.
Great tips and stunning photos! I'll try these settings on the bright signs of Tokyo.
Good video Paul. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome tutorial ! Very quick, straight to the point, very informative with examples. It's a mini-course winner! Subscribed.
I like the way you deliver your subject matter, like this one. You make it look simple and yet adequately explained. This makes your video time just right. Not too long and boring, and yet not too short, thus missing some important details. I always look forward to watch each of your video releases. By the way, I use a Canon DSLR, so I hope you would incorporate instructions using this brand, even when you explain your instructions using a Nikon camera as the main example Looking forward to more of your videos, Paul!
Awesome!
Thank you!
Such a great video!! So helpful, thank you!!!
So helpful!! Can't wait to try this with Christmas lights!
One of the only videos on this particular subject that actually makes sense! Thank you!
The photo genius tutorials are always explicit, to the point and very easy to understand. Too many youtube tutorials either go off on irrelevant tangents or they miss some of the small but very significant details that can make the difference when you trying to improve your photography.
Love your channel mate! I’m new to photography and your content is everything!!!
Great information, clear, concise and I feel really confident to go out and take some great night shots! Thanks
Thank you for this great tutorial! I'm an absolute beginner and you've given me the confidence to go out tonight and have a go at capturing some great night photos! Thanks again Paul!
Thanks for the feedback Evan, I hope you got some great night photos.
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 👍
This video has some great tips! I've been doing some night photography at Tempe town Lake in AZ and I haven't been able to get the grain under control. I'll definitely keep this in mine next time I go!
Great!! Exactly what I needed!
Brilliant. Informative, accessible, “best in class”. All tutorial videos should be like this.
Great video, very informative. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these great tip, you explain everything so clearly thanks for sharing
Fantastic as always Paul.
Thank you, short and simple.
You have the best photography channel available on TH-cam. Thank you.
Great video!! Thanks
Thank you for a clear explanation of what beginners need to know. Great job!
I've been taking photos for 30 years and I'm learning quite a bit from your channel. I've made several changes to my camera settings. Thanks and well done.
Great video! Subscribed!
Well explained! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Best Tips!
As someone who struggles to keep focus and wants to learn on on my own, I absolutely love your content! Thanks so much for this. You give very easy to follow directions on how to operate cameras. I hope I can turn out some great photos like yourself!
Brilliant thank you! I’ve just bought a Canon 4000D and can not wait to get out into the beautiful landscape here in Caithness (North Scotland) to take wonderful photos that I can paint from! Your videos are so good, so easy for someone not too technically minded to follow! 😊
Great video mate! helped me out alot.

Hey mate, you do an outstanding job. Thanks!
Love the tips .
Excellent content & audio = subscribed
Very good video for beginners! Thanks!.
Great Tips !!
Thank you. Articulate, clear and in laymen's terms video. Been flying drones for 4 years. It has led me into "real" photography. And I'm ready to step out of "Auto" mode. I have a Sony A6100 so all the features you pointed out are also on this camera, which made it very easy to follow. And yes, my favorite type of photography is low-light stuff.
Thanks for the tips mate
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Super !! Thanks for the great tips 👍
Exceptional overview and great, gentle explanation. You really are an expert and a great person to boot. Thoroughly enjoyed all your clips. Many, many heartfelt thanks for taking the time to explain everything.
Thanks again Paul, I'm looking forward to putting your tips to use in Brissie again soon :)

Thanks. The tips were a great help.
Very well put together, easy to grasp. Can’t wait to try your tips.

Totally enjoying this. Paul makes it basic, sometimes we already feel inadequate enough. Photography can be technical and scary!
The best explanation ever I watched for beginners.
Thank you very much.

Really helpful. Thanks
I liked the old B setting in shutter speed coupled with a remote trigger could hold the shutter open for as long as you thought it needed
Yep, bulb mode can be very useful - still an option with most cameras.
Exactly what I was looking for!
