You’ve just gotten your new digital SLR from hhgregg and now you need to know how to use it. You have seen those nighttime pictures in magazines and wondered how they were able to take such great shots. Read on and we will tell you how to use your new digital SLR to take amazing nightscape shots.• The first thing you will need is a tripod. Without a tripod it will be virtually impossible to hold the camera still enough to get a shot that turns out. The rule of thumb when searching for a tripod is to buy the best one that you can afford.
• Set your camera’s mode to shutter priority. If you don’t know how to do this, read your owner’s manual for more help. You will want to set the shutter to stay open for about 15 seconds. This will let enough light in to give decent results, but also gives you more time to bump the camera, which again is why you need a tripod.
• If you don’t have a remote shutter release, set your camera’s timer. This will give you time to press the shutter and get your hand off the camera to reduce the shake from your hand.
With these tips, you can take pictures of the moon, the stars, fireworks, or even cars driving along the highway. The most important thing to remember is to practice. Try different shutter speeds. Try changing ISO settings. You don’t have to take the perfect shot every time. Just keep at it and you’ll be a pro before you know it.
