  • If you dont have a flash, keep your subject
    close to the light source, with the light source
    shining on the front or side of the subject. If
    your subject is standing in front of the light
    source, with his back to it, youll end up with a
    silhouette.

  • Open up the aperture, which controls the amount
    of light coming through your lens. Think of it
    like the pupil of your eye the more open it is,
    the more light it is letting in. To change your
    aperture, set your f-stop on a lower number, such
    as 2.8 or 4. The lower the f-stop, the larger the
    aperture, the more light that reaches your image
    sensor. Bracketing will benefit you. Bracketing
    is taking the same shot at different aperture and
    f-stop settings.

  • Change to a lower exposure speed. The exposure
    speed is the speed at which your camera exposes
    your image to your film. While during a normal,
    sunlit day, you might take photos at 1/125, or
    1/500 of a second, but for low light photography,
    especially at night, you might want to try to
    lower it to ½ second, 1 full second, or several
    seconds. Never attempt to lower your shutter
    speed below 1/60 without using a tri-pod, or
    without setting your camera on something steady,
    or you will end up with a blur. Never use such
    low exposure sections on subjects that have even
    the slightest chance of even the most subtle
    movement, such as humans, or objects that can
    blow in a breeze.
