Low-light photography is an enchanting genre, capable of producing images that are unrivalled in their emotive power. The deep shadows, directional lighting and strong, cool colour bias can either be unnerving or tranquil, depending on how you approa

Digital photography offers several key benefits over film media when it comes to working in low light. The way in which sensors detect and process incoming light differs from how film emulsions react to light. At low intensity, illumination films are

When discussing low-light photography many of us will think of night cityscapes, or landscapes featuring expanses of starry skies. But these are not the most commonly encountered environments. Dawn and dusk can be categorised as low light, as can the

Due to the technical challenges associated with working in low ambient light, it’s common for photographers to become preoccupied with mastering the core difficulties of image noise, lengthened exposures and extreme contrasts, at the expense of creat

There are many factors that could reduce the sharpness of your images. Always review them carefully at 100% magnification. When shooting in near-darkness it’s easy to forget about overexposure risks. Keep a close eye on your histogram. Prevent nasty

If there are two areas of photography that demonstrate the benefits of intelligent post-processing, it’s low light and astrophotography. Modern digital cameras are marvels of technology and are rapidly approaching a standard in quality that matches t

Panorama and HDR features have been available in Camera Raw and Lightroom for a while, but a third option has been introduced that combines the two. The HDR Panorama command enables you to merge a set of exposures into a detail-rich panorama in a few

Depending on the images you’ve seen, your perception of low-light photography as a creative genre can vary. On one hand, the often-standardised approach to setting up, composing and exposing low-light scenes can create the impression of a formulaic w

www.canon.co.uk £1,299/$1,349 Canon’s most high-tech crop-sensor DSLR to date, the 90D has a new 32.5-megapixel image sensor, coupled to a processor that’s two generations newer than in the preceding 80D. Unlike the 250D, it has a pentaprism viewfind

www.canon.co.uk £588/$649 Canon’s EOS M range of mirrorless crop-sensor cameras has enjoyed a resurgence of late. Like the desirable EOS M5, the newer M50 has a built-in electronic viewfinder but, despite being cheaper, it boasts a newer image proces

www.fujifilm.eu £547/$499 Neat and tidy, the X-T100 is available in black, dark silver or champagne gold, and has a slick interface. The three-way tilting rear screen is particularly useful for vlogging, as it can flip horizontally through 180 degree

www.nikon.co.uk £1,889/$2,297 The Z 7 has the greater snob value of Nikon’s mirrorless full-frame cameras, but all those extra megapixels are superfluous for vlogging. The Z 6 is much more cost effective, and has even better high-ISO performance, and

www.panasonic.com £1,080/$1,197 Slightly smaller than, and only about two thirds the weight of, Panasonic’s older GH5 body on test, the G90 (G95 in the US) weighs just over half a kilogramme. Both are Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras based around

www.sony.co.uk £999/$998 The A6400 is considerably more compact than the competing Panasonic GH5. Body for body, it’s little more than half the weight at 403g, and the retractable ‘power zoom’ lens is a further space saver. The little Sony really pac

It’s almost too close to call. The Panasonic GH5 and the Sony Alpha 6400 are both supremely capable as vlogging cameras. The GH5 adds highly effective five-axis, five-stop sensor-shift stabilisation and a headphone socket, both of which are absent in
