1/ If you want long exposure: here is a trick, start with the highest ISO possible just to check the framing. Then go down to 5-30s if you want car lights trails
2/ If you just want situational shots, use the tips I gave in the Start Crushing Street Photo video. But this time maybe allow your shutter to go a bit slower
3/ Depending on your camera you might want to limit your ISO from going too high. I'm good until 12800.
4/ Shoot at the lowest aperture possible - for a nice shallow DOF and bokeh.
5/ I shoot in A with the min SS down to 1/125s - or all manually. Up to you really.
6/ Underexpose a little to keep information in the highlights and recover shadows with less high ISO noise.

✚ Gear at Night: 

1/ Lens, lens, lens, get the lens with the widest aperture possible. 1,4 ,18, 2.0. Stick to primes if you cant.
2/ I don't use tripods except for a flexible one but feel free too - I don't like carrying it around except in nature. In the city, I always find somewhere to put the camera (table, bench, my backpack...).


✚ Overall tips/ideas:
- Use the environment you're in. The goal is not to light up the whole scene but only showcase what is being lit
- Find reflections
- Do long exposure to get cars lights trails
- Use neon lights / street signs
- BOKEH with the lights !! So smoooooooth!

Photographer friends, in a few more months and you’ll have another tower to shoot in Kuala Lumpur! (anyone reading with access to the construction site? lmk!) 🔥 Video alert: Night Street Photography went LIVE last night! Link in bio! :) . . . I wanted to post this last night but I crashed after posting (it was 2am here)…! Thank you for the support for those who have seen it already :) Means the world! . . . Story on that new tower: heard from locals that’s it’s a bit shady as to why they build it… knowing the Petronas tower are only half occupied - because the space is very $$$ - no one is sure why they needed to build that one. It might be a huge waste of money and resources but there is nothing you can do about it now so… enjoy the tower for the new awesome photos opportunities! PS: if anyone has access to the construction site let me know :p . . . #kualalumpur #nightstreetphotography #malaysia #peopleexplore
