A little blurry but I will accept it....for night shots I do NOT recommend mobile phones AT ALL!!!! I bugged Dave D. about this...so please don't use mobile cameras for night shots...
If you look at some of Silverliner14B (Dave D.) Night pictures......you'll notice his night pictuers for the past month is a lot better than his last month picture.........that's because I finally got him to go back to using his real camera instead of his phone! Now his night shots are great!
Patience and steady hands or a tripod or a flat platform is important.....because in dark night shots...longer exposure is required and do not use flash....(except if you were close to the object at about 15 feet away.....) So the camera would need like 2 seconds or even 5 seconds or in rare cases 15 seconds of staying still doing the exposure job......if you notice some of the night shots I have, (including the banner on top in this GoL website) you see the car taillight moving....the car passed by while the camera was shooting a picture.
Daytine pictures, cameras usually only do 1/32 second of shooting...that's LESS than one second! In fact 32 times SHORTER than 1 second that its too fast for you to mess up the picture by shakey hands.......
Makes sense??? In order to have a picture, you need light to go through the lens.....if the place is too dark or there's little light, then the camera needs to open its lens LONGER to collect more light into the lens to collect all the info to make a picture....but that means the lens needs to be still to get all the information in exact same spot....or else you get a smundge from moving!
If you wave your hand in front of your face quickly......you see smudge from your fingers....the camera is overlapping every ssecond of it in one picture!!!
Hope I didn't go too much.....if I went too much, just read one paragraph at a time and think it over, and read next paragraph and understand it separately...you may get the picture.......when you start making better night pics (that's if you are patience enough) we will go to next lesson about cameras......
Yeah a tripod or at the very least, a stable flat surface to set the camera on is almost a must in order to get good quality night shot especially if you're using lower ISO so the pic is less grainy.
Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe....one STEP at a time buddy.....Let's not go for ISO yet...Let him practice with Automatic ISO and without the flash.....lowering the ISO makes the picture more difficult...so let him do the easier way first until he gets hang to it them we will do the next step which is the ISO...
P.S. Joe, I have been sending you PMs but haven't heard back from you
