(If photos are clicked in low light then they tend to more darker and unclear. So, you have to follow some methods that will enable you to take good photos even in low light.)

While taking photos you won’t always have enough light around you. If you try to capture an image in a low light without any preparation, then the photo will be dark and in some cases you won’t even see the subject in it. So, how do you take photos in low light? There are many methods which you can follow to take a beautiful photo in low light. Some photographers are capable of using the low light to their advantage to take breath- taking photos. The methods to take a photo in low light are as follows:

Use of flash:

Flash is one of the greatest inventions in regard to photography. It enables you to take photos even in the dimmest light. But, there is a disadvantage in using the flash. Sometimes, it can ruin the photo as the subject will look white and unnatural. You can prevent this from happening by covering the flash with a white tissue. This way the extra lights from the flash can be covered by the white tissue.

Reduce the shutter speed:

If you prefer to capture an image in their natural light without using flash, then you can do so by reducing the shutter speed. This method can be mainly used in landscape photography. The main idea is to keep the shutter of the camera open until enough light enters the camera. If the shutter speed is reduced then more light can enter. While using this method, be sure to use a tripod so that the camera is not shaken too much.

Increase the ISO:

Another way to capture an image without using flash is by increasing the ISO. ISO is the amount of sensitivity of light that falls on the sensor. If the ISO is increased then it will be more sensitive to the light. This enables you to capture image in low light. However, too much of ISO can lead to limitation of noise in the picture. So, you have to select the ISO very carefully.

Widen the aperture:

If you are not taking a landscape photo then reducing the shutter speed maybe a bad idea. Instead of reducing the shutter speed, you can widen the aperture. The width of the aperture decides how much of light will enter the camera. So, if you widen your aperture more light will enter the camera and the shutter speed will also be low, which will result into good and sharp photos. To widen the aperture you must choose the lowest f-number. The lower the f-number, more the light will enter.
