- Welcome to yet another exploration into the realm of Night Street Photography. In this quick guide, I'm going to share with you my top settings to guarantee incredible night shots every single time.
Mastering Night Street Photography goes beyond holding a camera up and snapping away - it requires an intimate understanding of your gear, specifically honing in on key features like Aperture, Auto ISO, Focusing technique, Metering mode, and White Balance. Each plays a vital role in delivering vibrant, rich, and dynamic pictures under the challenging cloak of darkness.
First we will talk about the best aperture to use for night street photography.
We'll also tackle the very crucial element of setting up Auto ISO. This feature can be an absolute lifesaver in varying night-time lighting situations and we'll delve into my trusted approach to using it effectively.
Next, we'll explore the power of focusing and Metering Modes for Night Street Photography.
And lastly, we'll touch base on White Balance.
This video is much more than just an instruction manual; it's a roadmap to decipher the enticing hues, shadows, and stories that the night holds. Strap in, and let's unravel the art of capturing the beauty of the dark together in a whole new way.

I'm still learning about Apartue and Shutter speed settings. Letting the camera handle the iso for now. But thank you for explaining it in a way that I thought was very handy. As of now I go high, then low with each setting, seeing on the screen what the result was and then adjusting and trying again. You helped me out with remembering this ranges to he in. I do want to be at the ready for that random shot and won't always have time to bounce up and down each one. Thank you! 🙏
My pleasure Peter. Thank you for your positive feedback. You should find that after a while you’ll get a memory and appreciation for Aperture and Shutter Speed settings and you won’t have to go high and low. Keep up the good work!
Joe thank you for this video, as a new hobby travel photographer I enjoy shooting in low light. I will definitely be using your guide for my work. K

Thank you for the lovely comments Crystal. Have a great Christmas 🎄
Great video Joe, thank you!!!😀👏🏻
Thank you Barry. I really appreciate it.
Great advice and equally applicable to natural light candid indoor photography. BTW: You might also mention that the lower the focal length of the lens, the more depth of field you will have with the lens wide open.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. Good point. I will keep it in my for another video. Thanks.
Great video, really helpful !
Thank You and have a Happy Christmas!
Thank you very much. Happy Christmas to you too.

What if you want to capture a moving subject at night?
I talk about how to capture moving subjects in the video.
Use a high ISO 1600 - 6400, a wide aperture of around f/5.6 - f/ 2, and your Shutter Speed needs to be around 1/100 seconds - to 1/160 seconds. That way you are still able to get sharp shots. With these settings you should be able to capture moving subjects at night.
Hi Joe, nice tutorial! I am a newbie and I have watched about 5-6 night shooting tutorials by now. The tips tend to be the same when it comes to ISO, ss and f aperture. Despite me following those tips closely and experimenting a littel bit with the values, the pictures I take are just a sea of noise and also quite blurry, while other people's pics are clean, in focus and quite noise-free. Believe me, it's frustrating. I did not follow any training on editing yet, but I dobut it's just that. Rocking a Fujfilm x-s10 with a 18-55 f 2.8-4 lens, if that matters. Thanks in advance for any possible advice and sorry for the long post!
Hi Andrea, thank you for your comment.
With that setup and the tutorials you have been watching, I can’t see why you would be getting blurry shots.
Perhaps there is an issue with your camera or your lens?
As long as you hold the camera steady, and are shooting at a fast shutter speed and a high ISO, you should be taking sharp shots.
@@joeredski Hey man, I really I have no idea why, I'll keep sourcing info and improving, eventually I will tag you on IG when I'll have something decent to show to the public. Thanks man and please keep pushing these informative videos!
Thank you my friend. I appreciate it. I hope it all works out for you. I look forward to seeing your photos.@@andreabeccarisi1126
Wouldn't a tripod help to get longer shutterspeeds and a lower Iso ?
Yes, you are correct. But it’s street
photography. Nobody uses a tripod for street photography as you need to be quick.
Check out my latest video on urban night landscape photography, if you want to know how to use a tripod at night time.
For taking pics of lighttrails of cars a tripod comes in handy. When using a tripod, you attract attention though, so I always bring somebody when I go out on night photography@@joeredski
Yes. Good thinking. You have to be careful when taking equipment out with you. Especially if you don’t know the area.
If you change your very annoying music/sound effects then I might watch your video. I had to stop after 1.5 minutes because I couldn’t take it any more.
Hi Paul. Thank you for your feedback. I have had some positive feedback on the music, but unfortunately I cannot please everyone. However, I will keep it in mind for future videos.
just watch another video, bud. I'll take your seat from here 👍
Thanks Joe. Keep the sounds coming ❤️
Thanks for sticking with me Paul. I got it sorted in the end . Sorry about that earlier video 👍
