Freelance Photographer in Dubai

Aperture and ISO adjustment for low light photography- Tip by a freelance photographer in Dubai Aperture is the tiny hole through which the light enters in the camera through the lens. So the bigger the aperture is the more the light will enter the camera. We must remember that is the “F” number is inversely proportionate to the aperture. This means that the aperture is wide then the “F” number will be low. This suggestion works well when you are using the prime lens. Where in the highest aperture is approximately F/1.8! These lenses commonly called a fast lens. These lenses have provision and ability to take pictures at much faster shutter speed. So with our experience as a freelance photographer in Dubai, the take away in this discussion is that if you want to take some good pictures from the lens then you must have a wide aperture. However, it should be remembered that a wide aperture results into a shallow depth of field.

In addition to wide aperture right exposure is important. This can be achieved through proper and experienced ISO settings. In case you are having difficulty in getting the right exposure in your photos and you have already tried working with the shutter speed and aperture then as a freelance photographer in Dubai we can suggest you for your best bet is

to increase the ISO. In simple words what it means is that if you double the ISO number then your quantity of light entering the camera will also double. Some cameras have issues with colour determination using a high ISO setting on the camera. Several photographers change the high ISO photographs to black and white (B/W). In order to provide a photo with a traditional feeling, B/W colour works the best. As a freelance photographer in Dubai, we have covered many shoots and have never crossed the ISO beyond 1600. In case we need additional light then we do not raise or move the ISO instead we can use flash. Also, the lens and the aperture is of extreme importance. Which lens to use? It is a million dollar question. When we talk about the maximum aperture that can be achieved the common lenses that we find in the market have their focal length limit between 3.5 to F 5.6. However, if you go for prime lenses then these can go down F/1.4 and in some cases, it can further go down to as low as F/0.95. a larger aperture would mean that the lens is faster. Since the aperture and the F-number are inversely proportional therefore increasing aperture would mean decreasing F-number.

As a part of Dzine FZE, we have covered many photoshoots in low light conditions wherein indoor lights were dim. Being a professional freelance photographer in Dubai we always suggest that one should carry your own light for such situation even if you have tried changing the camera aperture and Focus and including the ISO settings, to get a better result.
