How to take low light pictures or night pictures without looking like zombie

The main problem that most digital camera users complain about is the impossibility of taking pictures in low light conditions. Suddenly, grandma looks like a zombie. Your best friend looks like he’s been bitten by a vampire, and the pictures from last night’s party just look blurry, and not because of the booze. How to take low light pictures?

Night Mode – The simplest, most obvious way to take a picture at night is to move your camera’s dial to the Night Mode. Yes, I know, it doesn’t work… It takes an hour for the camera to make a picture and it comes out all blurry. The Night Mode will not work unless you use a tripod or just place the camera on a steady surface and take a picture of a static object. Yes, I know your kids are not static. That’s why you should go for the ISO option.

ISO – this is the standard for a film’s sensitivity to light and since your digital camera has no film, you can manually change the light sensitivity settings by using the ISO option. Choose between ISO 800, 1000, or higher to get more and more light sensitivity and there is no need to use a flash. Pictures taken at low light using the ISO feature will look more natural, although a little noisy. Still, it beats the flash in looks and feel.

Get the right Camera –Some cameras perform much better at night and doing some research, or putting an extra hundred bucks, can help you save a lot of frustration.
