In this video from B&H, Larry Becker offers a basic introduction to the challenges of, and solutions for shooting in low light with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. He explains ISO sensitivity, shutter speed and aperture settings and demonstrates how simple in-camera adjustments will provide marked improvements when shooting indoors. He also touches on ways to add light to your scene by reflecting available light or adding light with a flash unit. Best of all, he throws in some great tips on what to look for when buying a lens or a tripod and recounts how, after accepting his “first tripod penalty fee,” he found stability with a quality product like the Oben CC-2320 Carbon Fiber Tripod.
