![]() It's safe to assume that your low light photos will require some post-processing to address the byproducts of using high ISO settings (more on that with Tip #4) and achieve the desired look. Tip #2: Use your camera's RAW setting whenever possible In contrast, a shutter release cable and Bulb Mode let you expose your photo indefinitely. The most significant limitation with that option is that most cameras limit you to a 30-second maximum exposure. It's equally as effective to use a 2- or 10-second timer delay to trip the shutter. And don't worry if you don't own a shutter release. By using a tripod and shutter release cable, I can use exceptionally long shutter speeds without worrying about introducing camera shake. There is very little ambient light in most instances where I'm photographing inside an abandoned building, and getting a proper exposure would be impossible if I were handholding my camera. One of my favorite types of photography is urban exploration (UrbEx), capturing the alluring beauty of abandoned buildings left to the elements and decay. ![]() It would be best to view your tripod as necessary to your exposure as the camera and lens. That's why I highly recommend investing in a good tripod. For example, it's common to use 30 seconds or longer shutter speeds when practicing astral photography, and keeping your camera still while handholding it for that duration is impossible.

A common way to reduce shutter speed is to increase the ISO setting, but we'll cover that in greater detail with Tip #4. In many situations, especially while handholding the camera, a photographer will do whatever they can to reduce the shutter speed to avoid camera shake. The amount of light available in your scene will directly affect the camera settings you'll use to get a properly exposed photo. Tip #1: Use a tripod and shutter release cable
