Low or very less ambient light is a big issue when it comes to photography. Poor, dimly lit situations demand special care so that one can keep shooting without having to worry much about the loss of image quality and final results.
Most of the photographers/ hobbyists/amateurs have the similar kind of approach when it comes to shooting in low light. However there are plenty of creative ideas that can be applied when shooting in low light or places with very less ambient lighting.
Wedding photography is a demanding sector and more and more photographers are joining the wedding photography bandwagon. Wedding photography is a huge market and most of the times it is clients who ask for challenging assignments or want something different. Low-light photography gives the photographers a creative tool to play with and create some beautiful images.
Wedding photographers are the ones who need to come up with new ideas every time they deliver to a client but the actual shooting situation is where the photographer decides what kind of photographs they can shoot. This month for our wedding special issue, we will share some tips on taking on low light wedding photography and learn how to avoid a blurry mess of noise all over the images.
USE WIDE OPEN APERTURES/ FAST LENSES
You know this is exactly the main weapon of choice when you are encountering a low light situation. Fast lenses as you know have bigger lens iris opening or apertures which in turn allow more light into the camera. For low lit situations, having lenses sporting apertures of f/1.2 or f/1.4, f/2.8 are more like a boon to the photographer. Combine a 50mm f/1.2 lens on the latest full-frame camera which have exceptional low light performance. This makes up for the low ambient lighting and sometimes you can just lower the shutter speed in case the image is still underexposed.
