I was lucky enough to live a few years in Mwanza (Tanzania). This is less than 2 hours from the western gate of the Serengeti. I would do day trips, leaving at around 4 in the morning (tricky, because driving at night is not allowed and there are roadblocks, but if you explain where you're heading they normally would let you through). If the gate staff was quick enough I could sometimes enter the park before sunrise and position myself at some trees with baboons in them and wait for the morning red to appear in the sky. This gave the opportunity for some fantastic silhouette photos.

My tip: I incorporate rifle shooting concepts for added stability in low light. 1) use my sling for support. Look up what a hasty sling is and use that with your camera strap. 2) Breath hold for stability. Exhale half the air in your lungs and hold before you press the shutter. Hyperventilate ahead of time to oxygenate your blood to lengthen your hold. 3) The rifle shooting positions for standing, kneeling, seated or prone can be easily adapted to photography. I frequently use a squatting position with my elbows resting on my knees. 4) Using paper clips, I made a set of ghost ring sights that I taped to my camera and lens. For birds in flight, I often use these instead of my EVF for fast acquisition and tracking.

Your advice on overexposing (without clipping) in low light is an absolute game-changer for me. I was always under the impression that ISO = noise. It's very liberating knowing that ISO is your friend and that it's not a matter of less is automatically better.

Spray and pray is my absolute go to. And if I’m not happy with my photos, at least there’s usually someone around to go “oooh that’s a fancy camera!” and be impressed with my shutter sounds to make me feel a little better 😂 I also like ignoring that I need to breathe, and holding awkward positions so tightly that I pull muscles. Worth it for the shot!

I think I've been subscribed to you for a few months now, you have a really great way of explaining things. Also big respect for showing examples of your own "poor" photos to help others learn. I think a lot of KZfaq photographers are reluctant to make themselves look "bad" and only really show the good shots. The problem is it looks unattainable when someone is seemingly always taking perfect shots and it isn't very helpful to people learning not to see what a given mistake looks like. With your examples I find the "mistakes" very relatable and it also helps me identify when I am making the same error because you have shown me what to look for. And then showing what to do to improve and the incredibly good photos of your own at the end makes me feel I have a much better chance of achieving some good shots of my own. Keep up the good work, thank you!

The bird photos are marvelous. Thanks for an enjoyable session. At 82 I still photograph an annual K-8 school theater event that is quite extraordinary. Like wildlife and birds, theater requires a utility photographer's tool bag. What has completely transformed my theater photography is Adobe Denoise AI. Never before could I shoot at up to ISO 20,000 and deliver amazingly clean photos. After this year's shoot I culled 3,660 photos to 155, applied Denoise AI, then corrected the DNG from Denoise as normal. The parents, students, and teachers were very pleased.

Spot on! The signal to noise issue is important. I shootvatvup to ISO 12,800 without noise being an issue provided I shove the histogram to the right. If you have enough dynamic range in the actual view, you get a usable image. You can actually "clean up" noise by introducing noise in processing. I figured this out by realizing that how an image looks depends largely upon how it is perceived in final form. This is done in audio recording by introducing "floor noise" that covers up artifacts in the process.

@sunlbx 2 ай бұрын

if you shove the histogram to the right, isn't it the same as shoving it 1 stop lower and setting ISO to 1 stop lower, effectively same shutter speed?

@liquid74 2 ай бұрын

The camera's ISO process is usually far better than editing in software after. more light data = more signal. The bigger downside of high ISO is reduced dynamic range

@evandennis2110 2 ай бұрын

I do mostly concert photography where the light is always very dark, and I find that the motion blur that comes with using slow shutter speeds can actually lead to some pretty unique shots that are properly exposed without having to raise your iso to crazy heights.

A trick I've learned for dawn light and dusk where we have a dim but full spectrum and a decent amount of contrast is to let the ISO go up. If that spectrum and contrast is not there then it will look grainy. With wildlife we cannot use the slowest of shutters even with crazy stabilisation because they insist on moving, and no lens is fully sharp wide-open and will want shutting down by a stop, maybe only 2/3 or 1/3. I consider ISO 3200 to be normal, no noise , where ISO 6400 is onset and ISO 12800 may need a touch of de-noise, much depends on the read noise of your sensor. This allows a faster shutter and a sharper aperture.

You completely eliminated all the issues I was having with my x-h2 that I wasn't having with a panasonic point and shoot. Fuji should honestly pay you because you made me realize how good this camera actually is, where reviewers just dismissed it. Macro without a flash because I'm shooting at 1/2000 in sunlight with an ISO of 12800 and f/8? Best shots I've taken. You're incredible.

So (oversimplified) it's generally better to shoot at higher ISO and reduce it in post rather than the opposite. Great to know as most other hobbyists told me otherwise

When shooting in bad light I use pixel peeking . Auto foucs does not always work. Also you can work out what is in foucs . But my biggest tip is don’t wait till you’re on holiday to try to learn your equipment. I have the 180/600z for the last 8 weeks when I have time I have spent time trying to work out how it preforms in low light how it performs best for me .I shoot on manual so I get to know what works for me. The last tip is to release the camera is a machine, it does not have moods that bits tells you more about you than your equipment. ISO need not always have to be so high has you think . Light room gives a lot of light power if you know how to use it correctly. So really practice makes perfect. Kind off trade off. I live 15 mins away from a local park . It’s as a pound and wild life there. I have loads of photos of geese ducks gulls and dogs. I plan to expand my collection of course however for now a fast moving duck or geese in flight allow me to work out what works for me gives me hands on practical experience of my gear. Horses or the local deer seagull or Golden eagle same skill factor for capture for all So be a Boy Scout and learn your equipment . It pays you practice

This is very much like hoe I shot film on the streets at night when I was trying to be an 'artsy" film student in the 1980's. It works well, and is much less expensive when done digitally, because there are no "wasted" shots. I remember pushing film well beyond the ISO rating, and getting very beautiful (and salable) images.

@joshwertheim Ай бұрын

As someone with essential tremor, handheld shooting gets almost exponentially more challenging. It's nice that you can do like 1/60 with 3200 ISO, but for me the minimum shutter speed I'm really safe shooting is 1/100 and some times that's still not best for me.

Hello Simon, I love your practical instructional videos. I almost always have my auto ISO set +2/3 stop and rarely clip the highlights on the subject. I have been using 1.4x on RF100-500, so almost always dealing with high ISO when shooting in early or late situations. I find that denoise in Lightroom and then bringing up exposure with the highlight slider instead of the exposure slider really makes a difference with noise.

Great tips as always, Simon. I'm very firmly in the "spray and pray" category - with the emphasis on prayer! I also use Topaz and, although purists will no doubt argue that I should get it right in-camera, it really is an amazing aid. I've been using it on some old scanned family-and-friends photos from the 80s (taken on a Hanimex point-and-shoot) with remarkable results. Thanks!

@Mark-qn9xl 2 ай бұрын

Fantastic images of the backlit birds. I agree with all your suggestions. I also like that last one of the artistic flamingoes. I first heard about ETTR from Michael Reichmann on Luminous Landscape almost 20 years ago. I have used it ever since. The other important consideration here is that more data is contained in the highlights than the shadows of a digital sensor meaning that more manipulation is possible after the fact.

@houserhythm 2 ай бұрын

The bonus tip only applies to Canon cameras. The others (using Sony sensors) are ISO invariant and underexposing + raising in post will look the same as ETTR. And with the NR tools available today, you can shoot at much higher ISO than you mentioned - I have some ISO 12800 photos shot on MFT that look pretty damn amazing.

@warrenlloyd7532 9 күн бұрын

Great video Simon, some very useful tips but it also showed me that for the most part, I'm on the right track with my own work! I was happy to see you like Topaz - I've been using it for quite a while and love it, but recently I've seen people saying the new noise reduction in LR is better. Personally I've found this is only true for some shots. I also occasionally like using slow shutter speeds to produce abstract shots of birds in flight

I use the spray a pray technique quite a bit. Like you said, and I tell people, megapixels are free. I also leave my ISO on auto a lot. Unlike the days of film, I'd rather take 80 shots in a day and come out with 5 to 10 great shots, than go out with film to find slightly under or over exposed pictures. Digital can create ISOs that never existed with film even if you hypered it. And that was never fun.

Love your videos. They've given me a lot of useful information and tips that I have applied. However, in this instance for the majority of the photography I'm hired to do, there's only one bit of info that works for me. Spray and pray lol. Mostly, I shoot dance events that are indoors with low light and oftentimes colorful or complicated lighting. My shutter can't go below 1/250 since the movement is too fast for slower. The best tip I can give for people in a similar situation is be aware of ambient lighting and take advantage of it whenever possible, especially if a flash is not. Don't listen to the people that tell you not to use a lens hood indoors. I've never faced anything more challenging than these dance events and there's really only a handful of people who do them. At least that I know of or have met.

Love your very practical videos, and your comments make me laugh. Thanks for sharing these magnificent animal shots! I've found that, in addition to the highlight and shadow, low light photos benefit from a balance of increasing both shadow and whites values together. I would say it's 2 : 1 (max) shadows to whites. The whites give you a little boost in brightness (including shadows), and then the shadows even out the exposure. And I don't have to use as much or either as might have to do if I were only increasing one of the sliders.

I came to photography while being an automotive journalist. On my first day at the magazine, they gave me a 250k+ exposure Canon EOS 700D with a kinda working 18-135 kit lens and no instructions. It took me years to get ok at photography, even if I was doing it every day. Now, years later it's not even a debate, that I am the best photographer working at the same magazine, and all I needed was to find out most of the techniques you show in your videos on my own, trial and error style. I found your channel some weeks ago, and I still learn a lot here. I've seen enough to confirm, that this content is golden.

Love this tips Simon! I was at the Easter Show in Sydney, Australia and it was tough taking photos of the action at night. I’ll definitely use these tips in the future and also for wildlife photography 🤙

As a Kenyan, I had the opportunity to explore Amboseli National Park towards the end of last year. Watching your video now, I realize how much it would have helped me then, as you've expertly addressed the very challenges I faced. Your clear explanations and extensive knowledge are truly commendable. Thank you for sharing your expertise-I'm subscribing right away. 😊

I just hope one day I can pick up a 600MM F4 lens. I have a 75-300 that came with the camera, and oof... this tip of overexposing even at high ISO makes sense. Thank you!

I recently found your channel and I'm loving it , i don't own a camera but i love fiddling around in pro mode in my Phone camera and i am shocked by how much technical stuff I discovered myself just on my phone, like the high ISO thing

You are the first person to mention prefocusing for flying birds. I have been doing this for a while. It is especially helpful when a bird comes back to a particular spot or flies through an area frequently.
