How To Shoot A Photograph At Night Without Using Flash, The photograph of the model you see above is one of my first roommates (Joel Boyd) at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Yes Joel I know you were annoyed by me asking to take photographs of you, but thank you for helping me share my stories with the world.
In this article, I will tell you how I went about with the shoot at the Savannah College Of Art and Design, teaching you how to take a photograph of a model at night without using flash. I used a Canon 5D to photograph this image without flash and you can what technique I used on the Canon 5D from yesterdays post [here’s the link], and in this post I will teach you how to take that photograph at night without using flash with a point and shoot camera.
Once again I am going to stress telling you to take photographs of your friends, it really helps you develop an eye for photographing people so when it’s your time to shoot the real models you will feel confident ☺ (believe me everything is possible with confidence, well almost anything). At the cafeteria I asked a friend of mine (Scott Vanarsdale) to use his Canon 5D so I could practice night portraits without using flash. It was my first year playing around with such an advance camera. This night was a great night for me because I was able to get two photographs I am really proud of; the portrait of Joel and the landscape photograph from yesterday’s post.
In order to take a photograph like this you will need a few crazy friends that will allow you to take their photographs ☺, you will need a tripod and if you have a dslr camera use yesterday’s post; if you have a point and shoot you can follow me with this post. I am going to teach you how to practice taking the photograph without flash using a point and shoot digital camera. At that time I was playing around with the camera getting used to it. To take a photograph like this one at night of a model without flash you use the same technique as taking the one of the landscape in yesterdays post. The only difference is using the ambient light around you to help light the model. When I first starting using my Canon SD630 I could I always wondered how to take a photograph at night without flash, and not getting that blur. To stop getting that blur when I used my point and shoot camera at night I attached a tripod to my camera [buy a tripod], turned the flash off, turned the timer on and then let the magic happen. It’s simple it’s easy and it can make you enjoy your photographs and my photography for you enjoyable.
