Kodak Digital Cameras Greece
How can I take decent night photos with my Nikon Coolpix 10?
I’m going to Greece soon and I am bringing my little Coolpix digital camera. It takes pretty good photographs with the flash inside or outside during the day, but I can’t quite figure it out for shots at night. I mean, when I shoot something that is well lit and turn off my flash I often get blurry images. Am I stuck with that (unless I use a tripod) or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Anna
PS Oh, one more thing about this camera. I used to have a Kodak digital and used the fill flash a lot, and was quite happy with the results. But now, with my Nikon my subjects are washed out as if the flash is too bright. Even though they are standing the same distance — about 5-8 feet away. It was a perfect distance for the Kodak, but not for the Nikon. Am I stuck with having my subjects step back a few feet?
Any ideas?
Night shots are difficult. The simple answer is–Tripod. With the Kodak vs Coolpix flash issue, each camera has it’s inherent flaws, and you have just touched on one of them. Nikon’s preset flash values are different than Kodak, and you just have to adapt your shooting habits to your cameras abilities. That is why when you find something that works for you, keep it until it gives up the ghost.
