In this week's photography tutorial, I show the best tips, tricks, ideas and settings I use for street photography at night. The city streets are full of amazing opportunities for photography and I love spending time taking in the atmosphere of Edinburgh after dark.
I show what I look for in my street images, from how I find compositions, where I go, what settings I use on my camera through to how to take amazing long exposures of car headlights.

Love your video. Thank you for sharing your tips. ❤❤❤❤ Beautiful work… I also love low key photography and definitely learn from your tips. ❤❤❤

Contrary to a few other's comments, i think you picked the perfect music for your video. It adds to the "nighttime" ambience. Im a dark or nighttime photographer also, for all the reasons you stated in your video. Great job.

Very good varied photos and good advice! The porta loos I think either or, the others similar, good all around composition and a well put together video!

Excellent tutorial. Going to try all of these tips when I go to Dublin in a few weeks. Thank you!

Re: 4:30 I like the black and white one too! And I like the portaloo shot without the person because the one with the person doesn’t have enough contrast against the backdrop

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 месяца назад

Thanks! I think that's why I like it too. I think the figure makes it overly complicated as a scene whereas there's a nice simplicity without it.

Very good moments of visual harmony, as I'd call it, where is all comes together. In regard to tricks shots, and special visual effects, I can work if not overdone, but once seen the effect wears off over time. The magical moment is precious and rare, so yes, you shoot fast and must be prepared at all times. One must be prepared to kick themselves when the do the image wrong, or you are a simply out of position -- that's life. But when you get the gift shot, you do say yes! Yes! Your video is well done. Thank you, Loren

Nice video with great tips! I love the way you anchored many of the compositions around lamp posts and islands of light in the dark. Nice use of music as well. It worked well with this video where it helped the story of you venturing into street photography at night.

Another great video Andrew. This is an area I've never tried as I long in a rural town which doesn't provide many opportunities. However, I'll try to give it a go next time I'm in Sydney. As for your images, I loved the b&w one of the guy on the bridge with the rim light.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much! Sometimes smaller towns can provide great opportunities (I grew up in a small rural town in the UK, though I imagine it's very different in Australia!). Definitely give it a try in Sydney though! Thanks for watching

Now I’m planning on heading into Galway this evening to give this a whirl. I’ve been experimenting with lots of different types of photography over the last few months and it’s been such a learning curve and creative process doing things I never would normally have considered. Mostly your fault Andrew😂 great video and thanks for the ideas.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 месяца назад

I APOLOGISE FOR NOTHING! Good luck in Galway. Love it there. Hope you get some good stuff and have a pint or two for me!

@adriannolan6711 4 месяца назад

@@AndrewLanxonPhotography well I figure I need a nifty fifty after all that. But I made do with what I had. That video had great pointers so I’ll be looking forward to tinkering about with the results on the laptop tomorrow. Thanks again for all the posts.

Oh dear, I really enjoyed this video.❤❤❤ I am really not that out-in-the-city-at-night-kinda-guy, but these images are really inspiring and provide a compelling reason to try it out. 😮😮😮

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 месяца назад

Thank you, I'm glad you liked them! To be honest nor am I usually. I prefer to be home, warm and dry and ideally in bed. But it's definitely worth trying it out from time to time, as the photos can be great!

Cant wait to go back to Edinburgh and do some Streetphotography

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 2 месяца назад

I hope you get to soon!

I love night photography and have a similar minimalistic view. I would have love to see the metadata on your images as you showed them. I'm always intrigued by what settings you use. I know you briefly mentioned it at 8:00 but would love to see it for each photo. Love the video.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 месяца назад

Thanks Paul, I'll certainly keep that in mind.

Some spectacular images to be sure. Be interested to hear what gear you take with you on one of your "walkabouts" and whether this differs between a day walk and a night walk. Cheers.

what camera / lens were used ? do you have an indication of settings used SS / aperture /iso? just curious ;)

@NetGawker Месяц назад

I wanna shoot at night but walkin around in Chicago at night "where the action is", is QUITE RISKY!

@micheleg.2244 4 месяца назад

Nice video...How do you choose the aperture in the night? I mean, is there any particular reason not to prefer 1.8 to 8 or 8 to 11, in case of tripod ?

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Mostly it's wide open to let in more light and use faster shutter speeds when hand held. For long exposures on a tripod it was about f8 for maximum sharpness.

@micheleg.2244 4 месяца назад

@@AndrewLanxonPhotography BTW I prefer the portaloos without person but the two lamps with the figure (espcially the one with you in it).

@gary4739 4 месяца назад

Did you find people noticing you with your R5? I'm thinking a rangefinder would be less noticeable but???

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 месяца назад

Not really, possibly because the lens was quite small. Also if helps that it was night time and in busy areas so I didn't really stand out much. Still, there were some people I didn't feel comfortable photographing so I kept my camera hidden.

@MKWHD 3 месяца назад

Did you use an ND-filter for the long exposure pictures?

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 3 месяца назад

No I didn't need one in the end. It was dark and I was shooting at about f18 so it naturally gave me a shutter speed of multiple seconds.

@MKWHD 3 месяца назад

Great Set of images none the less. @@AndrewLanxonPhotography
