Night photography without a tripod, part1

Night photography without a tripod is not only possible, но иногда даже не имеет альтернативы
If you were in an interesting place and at hand did not have a tripod – does not mean, that for night photography everything is lost! How to photograph at night without a tripod? Certainly those, кто давно снимает и кому приходилось lot of pictures at night, I understand – tripod may be any stable basis. В качестве такой подставки для фотоаппарата может служить любая условно-горизонтальная неподвижная поверхность: fence, parapet, protection embankment, stone. I had to use the same hood of the car, bicycle saddle, prichalynuyu balku, ocheshnik, table in the cafe and sidewalk.
Однако можно использовать и вертикальные поверхности и совсем не в классическом смысле – without resorting to them yourself, а прислоняя к ним фотоаппарат для фиксации. And if you press the shutter release the camera for an interesting night shots difficult, can rescue the self-timer: clicking, you'll have ten seconds to fitting the camera (But лучше поэкспериментировать заранее). Night cities offer many opportunities for night photography.
The lack of alternatives: is very simple – even if you have a tripod, sometimes it is simply nowhere to put, is no room. Or he is not sufficiently high, or vice versa – folded too high. Or even – it simply otbrali at the entrance to the territory of any historic place.
Then make a small remark – Night photography can take place during the day, you understand. В условиях плохого освещения внутри помещений при съемке интерьеров или малого светового потока на улице приемы ночного фотографирования одинаковые.
Now – poems примеры ночных фотографий:
Night embankment of the Nile.
В этом случае гранитное ограждение было столь высокое и широкое, that remove these beautiful boats with a tripod was not possible. I had to put the camera on the parapet, that together with supershirikom 11-18 has made it possible to make an interesting shot.

Evening Cairo
Tripod was with a, but I myself was not alone and could greatly delay the group. Поэтому я просто прислонил фотоаппарат к очень надежному железному столбу, one of which turned out well in the photo.

Alabaster mosque in Cairo
This is just the case, when the guard at the entrance takes a stand. “Prfessionalnoe Equipment!” – told me and sent a tripod in the luggage. “As children…” – подумал я и для этого снимка положил камеру на пол и подложил очешник, to capture the people and the great vaults of mosques.

Night in Amsterdam canal
Again the case, when there is a tripod, но применить его по разным причинам не получается. At that moment I was alone, usual night, but in an unusual place – near the red light district of Amsterdam. Crowds obkurennogo folk did not inspire confidence, поэтому я не решился расчехлиться по полной программе (By the way, про красный квартал у меня есть отдельная серия на этом сайте и о ней будет рассказ).
I had to use a tripod as a bicycle saddle, причем на этой фотографии я не выравнивал горизонт.
