- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi! I'm new to this forum and new to the world of SLR Cameras.
Ok, so I bought a Nikon D3100 some months ago and it came with the standard 18-55mm lens. I take photos at night during parties and events, not so much with landscapes.
My problem is probably the same with everyone taking night photos: my takes are too dark or too blurry. I understand that in order to not make it blur, a fast shutter speed is used, and in order to not make it dark with a fast shutter speed, I must make the hole bigger (make aperture number smaller). That's why I take my pictures without zooming in so I can take advantage of the smallest f-stop available. I also set my pics to ISO100 so graininess is reduced.
How do you guys take photos at night w/o flash, w/ the 18-55mm lens and without setting ISO to max? Thanks!
