//:: Photography: Things & Objects around ...

So how do they really do it? Take pictures with very low light and not use a flash. I still can't find the reason why such great photographers don't use the flash in low light shots. Why did they have to invent a flash anyway? And they've always said that if you only know how to find the right combination of angle and light then you could get the perfect shot.

"What on earth are they talking about angle and light!?"

So one late afternoon I got up and took the cam and tried to take some pictures of things around the house without using the flash. Oh boy was it sooooooooooooooo hard! Taking pictures with low light and not use the flash is really hairy! Big thanks that now a days camera's are digital ... just aim and then shoot then if you don't like it erase it and do it again ... hehehehe To be honest it took me a lot of tries to get a picture. At least it's not blurry anymore but still very noisy ... try it for yourself and challenge yourself :) Take pictures in low light without using a flash.


Taken without flash with low light ... waaaaaaaa :( so utterly hard!

Once I got fed up taking pictures which such low light. I decided to stop it. Then the next morning went out to take more pictures and found it a bit easy to take pictures with such good natural light coming from the sun after a very hard night taking very hard shots with very low light.


I've learned a very good lesson after this day. Not to use manual focusing with the lens :D just use manual focusing with the triggers and reference points :)

Thanks :) ... it is really easy to take shots if the sun is really shining :) it's so easy to play around with any subject. The first shots was taken inside the house at around almost 6PM ... was quite dark so it was really hard to shoot and get a good picture

Jigs ... now a days ang mga cam naa nay menu for different shots. Set it to sports settings but then you still have to manually point the crosshair sa object or subject nimo. If you can aim and time it well then it will play along nicely :)

How about establishing a photography club? So that you can share your ideas to frustrated photographers (like me). LoL!

Very nice obra!
