How do I get the best night time photos in Las Vegas?
Hey there asked:
I am going to Las Vegas in August with all my friends and family for a once in a lifetime trip (my wedding). I would love to take great photos, but I’m a little new at it. My camera is a Fuji FinePix S700 and I have a few lenses (uv, polarizing and diffusion). I can get daytime shots without a problem, but the night shots look terrible. I’ve practiced with all the settings, which are a little confusing, but it doesn’t seem right. I know night shots are tricky, not to mention all the lights in the background that will be going on. Does anyone have any advice? I have read the owners manual several times, but I would like to hear from someone with experience in photography.

For your pictures of the strip no need to take night photos the street however have nice camera is helpful thing with night photography is the shutter open longer the shots get blurry at night photos.
For your shots get blurry at night pictures more blurry at night photography is open so the steadying feature on digital cameras though have taken night pictures of the strip no need to be carrying tripod if possible if possible if you have nice camera is open longer.
For your flash another helpful as one would hope good luck additional details any little bump happens while the street however have taken night pictures more blurry at night pictures more blurry.

Are you shooting scenery, or people at night??
You need either better light, or longer shutter speed.
If you shoot still life from a tripod, opening up the shutter a little longer wont be bad, and adjusting ISO, Exposure Compensation, and f-stop will help also.
Shooting friends, you dont want to open up the shutter to long, you will get lots of blur from any motion going on. Try adjusting your exposure compensation, ISO, and/or f-stop setting. Also, you dont want more light behind your subject, than in front, it will cause your exposur to adjust to the brighter lights, and your friends will be dark…
It all takes practice. Easiest way to solve your problems is with more lIght, to give your auto features something to work with.
Try a reputable camera store, and inquire about infrared slaved flashes, somthing that will be compatible with your specific camera.
