RE: Vancouver and its dark city nights

Hi, i read that you shoot with the 50mm lens in aperture f/1.8, i think you do it that way cause the low light at night so you don't get a huge contrast, but i do think that for this kind of images we need to shoot in aperture f/8 and use ISO to get more ligth, maybe you can try it and tell me if it work for you.

Sort:  

Hi! Unfortunately there is not enough available light for me to stop down to f/8 and crank the ISO, especially since my lens does not have stabilization. It would result in extremely noisy images with very little dynamic range. I already have to raise the ISO a bit, even at f/1.8. I actually prefer the shallower depth of field for these images anyway. It's one of the ways in which my approach to city photography is totally the opposite to my landscape photography.

That used to happen to me, think about changing to a mirroless camera. Check my latest post, i writed about my Canon RP

Yeah, mirrorless cameras are really good for that. Unfortunately cannot afford one yet! Maybe if I sell more NFTs, lol.
