How to take the most beautiful night photos with your phone?
Photographing lights in the dark is a challenge for many. To capture the magi cof the illuminated winter idyll with your smartphone’s camera, follow the tips below.
For truly perfect photos, we recommend manually setting all the shooting properties.
This is possible in PRO mode.
- Open your smartphone’s camera.
- Select the PRO shooting mode.
Here you can change all the settings as you like.
- Set a longer shutter speed (1 to 5 seconds).
As we will be taking the photo in low light, it is important that it is properly illuminated. With a longer shutter speed, the camera will capture more light and consequently, the photo won’t be dark. Set the shutter speed to 1 to 5 seconds.
- Lower the ISO between 50 to 400.
ISO tells us the camera’s sensitivity to light. The higher the ISO value, the brighter the photo will be. Since you have set a longer shutter speed, reduce the ISO to between 50 and 400. That way the photo won’t look grainy due to everexposure.
- Use a tripod.
Since you’ve increased the shutter speed, it’s important that the phone is completely still during the photo capture. Even a small shake can make the photo blurry. We recommend using a tripod to take photos in the dark.
We have set up some of the tripods on the Treetop Walk to make it easier for you to take photos.
Use them and ensure truly beautiful photos.
- Turn off the flash.
While the flash will illuminate the night landscape, it will destroy the magic of the lighting elements. For a really top-notch photos in lights, turn off the flash and let the lighting on the trail create the magic.
Come to the Treetop Walk Pohorje, where a true fairy tale of lights awaits you until 3 March 2024. A magical forest illuminated with lights and 3D animals comes to life every day, from 17:00 to 20:00 (last entrance to the trail is at 19:00).
