Taking pictures in low light conditions doesn’t have to result in pictures that are too blurry to even make something out. The reason pictures taken at night don’t turn out as well is because the camera’s shutter has to stay open longer to let enough light in for proper exposure.

In order to take better pictures at night, you will need to understand a few things about your camera first. Learn how to adjust the ISO and set it higher. Most digital SLRs today have the ability to go up to at least 1600 ISO. You will want to experiment and find which setting works best for your camera and your conditions. You will also want to keep your shutter open a bit longer than usual. This will also introduce blur into your images. The best results will be achieved when you use a tripod, monopod, or any device that will keep your camera steady. I remote shutter release will even eliminate the possibility of camera movement from your hand pressing the shutter.

As with all of our photo tips, the best advice is to practice. You will never get better if you don’t practice. Head into hhgregg today to get your new digital camera to get started.
