Diwali is here, and for all those looking to take aesthetic photographs this evening, here are a few tricks that will prove beneficial. Most Diwali pictures are often marred by ever-changing lighting conditions. However, if you master the exposure settings on your phone, you might be able to get the perfect shots in most situations.
If that sounds like too much of a chore, here are a few easy alternatives to help you capture stunning photos whenever you want:
1.Night Mode for a Easy shoot
Most modern smartphones come with a built-in Night Mode that can easily take well-balanced photographs in low-light conditions. This is especially helpful during Diwali when you want to capture the warm glow of diyas, crackers, and festive lights.
Place your phone on a stable surface or tripod for the best results, as Night Mode often requires a steady hand to reduce blur.
2. Go Candid
Use the Burst Mode and select the best shots afterward. The most authentic and emotional photographs are often candid. So, step out of your comfort zone — switch your phone to Burst Capture Mode and snap away during those spontaneous moments. Pick the shot that is well-lit and captures genuine emotion.
3. Try Pro Mode for More Control
Stepping beyond your regular camera mode can make a big difference.
Switch to the Pro Mode (or Manual Mode) on your phone’s camera and explore settings that make up the exposure triangle — ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. Since most photos will be taken at night, it’s important not to drastically manipulate these values. Small, precise adjustments can help you get the perfectly lit shot you’re aiming for.
4. Manual Focus and Other Advanced Settings
Level up your photography by diving into manual focus and other professional settings. Shooting in Pro Mode allows you to capture highly detailed shots, which can later be edited using professional software or apps for enhanced quality. Avoid using over-the-top filters, as they might diminish the natural beauty of the shot.
5. Overall Settings for Ideal Night Photography
For optimal results:
- Focus: Set to infinity
- ISO: Keep between 100 and 400
- Shutter Speed: Between ½ to 1 second
You can also wait for the golden hour (just before sunset or shortly after sunrise) for beautifully lit photos. Alternatively, make use of soft artificial lighting to achieve the desired effect.
