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.

look for light

Moving yourself or your subjects

towards light is a very clever thing to

do. Moving your subjects towards

light sources, both natural or artificial

will allow you to get more light into

the camera and expose your subjects

properly. If you know to hunt the light,

you can easily challenge yourself into

taking amazing pictures.

pUmping the iso

In certain situations, you will be

left with least options and sometimes

no option, other than pushing the ISO
