Lighting settings are one of the main tools to make pictures with a digital camera in low light; I'm talking about the flash. With this instrument usually get prevent camera shake and freeze the image. But it has its restrictions,The use of artificial lighting with a digital camera Articles and that its depth is rather limited lighting, the light can break the mood of the scene and if we use it carelessly, produce different kinds of sparkles and shines pretty annoying.

The use of a tripod:

ü  Our main partner in this type of travel photography.

ü  Using the tripod can get pictures with great depth of field, long exposure times and you can even use it even when the digital camera shutter speed does not become a problem, and so play with the lighting of the scene and our creativity.

ü  Playing with slow shutter speed, the lights of the night (cars, stars ...) and the general movement of the scene, can give very dynamic pictures.

The use of bright lenses:

·         The brightness of a lens will give the aperture, the smaller the f, the greater the light received by the sensor and the higher the shutter speed you can use.

·         This lens is really useful and required in any photographic equipment, for its versatility, size and ease of use. They are usually fixed focus 50 mm, and tend to range from f1.8 to f1 or less, getting capture so much light that seem to lie in some areas to take pictures with little light.

·         Its use will give us the satisfaction of taking pictures without using a tripod, and maintaining the artificial lighting at night, producing some really beautiful bokeh effects with different types of lights. Even when there is nothing interesting to look at, getting your digital camera to shoot with this goal can be a real joy to after seeing the results.

The only but that he could put, it's difficult to focus in the right spot. In these openings is a blur so brutal that the move an inch forward or back is more than enough to fail in approach, and if we add the little light in the area, the thing can make us despair. We recommend using manual focus.

Using the parameters of our digital camera:

Ø  All camera models have different ISO values can change at any time.

Ø  According to our model we use higher or lower values.

Generally, any reflex moves well between values of 200 and 400 ISO, even 800. More professional in the field can use values from 1600 and even 3200 ISO perfectly usable.
