Night scene is a very attractive scene in shooting, which is full of mystery and romance. However, due to the lack of light, shooting night scenes has always been one of the difficulties for photographers. In this article, we will introduce how to use the action camera flashlight’s flash to capture night scenes and get clearer and brighter photos.
Use a tripod to secure the camera
In night scene shooting, the camera needs a long-time exposure, so a tripod is needed to fix the camera to avoid shaking and blurring. After fixing the camera, you can shoot night scenes more stably, and you can make full use of the camera’s long-time exposure function to take more delicate photos.
Adjust your camera’s ISO, shutter speed, and aperture
When shooting night scenes, you need to adjust the parameters of the camera such as ISO, shutter speed, and aperture to obtain the best exposure effect. The higher the ISO, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light, allowing the camera to take clear photos even in darker situations. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the camera’s exposure time, which can better capture the details and light and shadow of the night scene. The larger the aperture, the lighter the camera can let in, resulting in brighter photos. It should be noted that when adjusting these parameters, it needs to be adjusted flexibly according to the specific situation in order to achieve the best effect.
Reasonable use of flash
In night scene shooting, the flash of the action camera can provide additional front light, making the subject brighter. However, it should be noted that flash is not suitable for all situations. Generally speaking, flash is more suitable for shooting close objects, and the effect of flash is not obvious for distant objects. Therefore, when using a flash, it is necessary to make a reasonable selection and use according to the specific situation.
Use ambient light
In night scene shooting, ambient light is also a very important factor. By making good use of ambient light, you can create dramatically different photo effects. By choosing the right shooting angle, the light can create a special atmosphere, such as through tree branches, lights reflecting on the water, and so on.
Improve photo quality with post-processing
In night scene shooting, post-processing is also a very important step. The brightness, contrast, color and other parameters of the photo can be adjusted through the post-processing software to further improve the quality of the photo. It should be noted that post-processing is not a panacea, it can only be used as an auxiliary means to improve the quality of photos, and cannot completely replace shooting techniques.

In short, night scene shooting is a task with high technical content. It is necessary to give full play to the flash and other functions of the action camera, adjust the camera parameters reasonably, and further improve the photo quality through post-processing.
