Shooting in Low-Light Conditions

Week 12

Question 1 – Written assignment

Describe the steps that you will take to ensure that you take a high quality photograph in low light conditions. Refer to exposure, lenses, tripods, colour temperature, flash and ISO. Your answer should be a minimum of 350 words.

Question 2 – Practical assignment

  1. Watch the LinkedIn course Photography 101: Shooting in Low Light by Joseph Linaschke
  2. Take four low-light photographs:
    – One should be a sharp photograph that focuses on a static object, like a building or statue.
    – The second photograph should showcase moving objects, like cars or running water.
    – For the third photograph, take a moody portrait of a friend and use high ISO settings to your advantage.
    – The fourth photograph should explore using external light sources, like a Speedlite flash (please note, if you don’t have the equipment to take this last photograph, you may leave it out).
