 | |  |  | At night: Blurred night pictures | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
When I stopped for the first time in Berlin's suburbs by McDonald's at night I took a picture of Agip gas/petrol station without a built-up flash and I found it very blurred. Then I wanted to take a few nice night pictures of Berlin's streets. But I didn't have a tripod. So, some of my pics esp. taken without a built-up flash were blurred. On the other hand those ones taken with a flash were too dark at the background not lighted enough by the flash. Keep in mind that a built in (or even additional) flash on most cameras can only light up an area between 3 - 6 m in front of the camera (10 - 20 ft, depends on the flash and DIN of your film). My camera's shutter opens and has to stay open for up to several seconds for enough light to hit the film to make an image at night. The problem: most people cannot hold a camera perfectly still for more than a small fraction of a second - usually more than 1/30 or 1/45 s. Just notice here that larger camera you have, easier you can hold it. So, if you want to take pictures at night (except objects up to a few meters in front of your camera) you must use a tripod, never mind how good (and expensive) is your camera. Hmm... I still must buy a tripod for my camera. I think about two tripods: one mini-tripod, very small, primitive one, I could say but cheap, light and easy to carry with me. And the second: real, professional tripod with a bag. Not so easy to choose from :-): SLIK tripods (Japan) MANFROTTO tripods (Italy) about tripods on photo.net Leave a Comment
