How to take pictures at night in parties or discos?

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to write about what parameters to use to get the best pictures at night ... Even at parties or birthdays ...
1- As a material they would need a reflex camera, as far as possible, or semi-reflex
2-The white balance could leave it in automatic or in the one that best suits your environment.
3- I recommend a lot of shooting in "RAW" since if they do that later they can improve / edit their photos in lightroom
4- Parameters:
Manual mode
Flash: If you have an external one to be able to bounce the light better, otherwise you can use the built-in camera
Diaphragm: As open as possible
Shutter speed: between 1/60 and 1/125
Iso: Between 1600 and 2500
These are some recommendations from my non-professional position, which I hope can help them to get their best photo ...
I would like to leave you some examples of photos taken by me with and without flash ...

(without flash but with the iso a bit higher) If you like this photos, you can leave it in the comments and I can create a post about how to create this effect called bokeh

I hope you can use these tips from an amateur, they are things that I learned over time and that I think will be very useful! Greetings...
