The photos you'll be able to take
Each of these comes down to one or two settings. The course shows you which ones to change, and by how much.
Night light trails
Leave the shutter open for a few seconds and passing headlights become ribbons of light.
Shutter 1/250 s to 4 s
Clean low-light photos
Keep the ISO low and let a longer shutter gather the light, so night scenes come out bright without the grain.
ISO 3200 to 50
EV
Silhouettes
White balance
Blue hour cityscapes
Fast shutter
Frozen action
And many more
Motion blur, true colours under any light, RAW files with room to edit: once the settings make sense, you choose the look.
