You use the tripod with long shutter speeds, like 30 seconds in some cases. It’s a motherfucker to focus in darkness though.

I was reading /p/ and lamenting that I didn't get a full frame with a super expensive lens because I like night photography, then I check this thread and it's kino
Because emotion is what matters most
Also why do my night time shots look so orange, is that due to the streetlights?

Auto WB probably. Nighttime wb is so blue it's likely overcompensating or some shit.

>>4479415
Have a gorillapod or something, RTFM, put it in night scene mode / crank up the ISO / whatever manual tells you, use self-timer and hope for the best.

Or do like I do with my AW100 and just keep snapping until you get an interesting smudge like >>4479743 and call it art.

I sometimes wondered what the opposite of a snapshot would be. I find it must include the set, setting and an idea in mind which then is executed.

Consequently street can only be snapped, since it is about documenting the environment. Landscape is a classic for a composed shot. As is architecture. What about nature though? I can hardly know when the birdie will sit next to my location, or even a model shoot. This involves a dynamic between model and photographer that can hardly be fully anticipated.

This is a serious question. What is it about gas stations/convenience stores that looks so cool at night? Is it color temperature of the inside vs the outside?

>>4484218
It's what they call the "gasser allure".
Basically they take us back to a golden era that's mostly gone now thanks to EVcucks and zoomer behavior.

>>4484218
good light. they are open later than most other businesses and usually very brightly lit. often bright enough to shoot handheld and they'll be the only thing you can shoot at night in a lot of neighborhoods.

rounded aperture blades maybe ?

>>4487466
>Focus stacking and lower exposure in post?
Not a bad idea if you shoot static scenes.

A strong diffusion filter will soften up the sun stars, but the end result is messy and probably not what you're looking for.
Finding an optimal lens for the task is another option. Like the anon above me suggested a lens that has rounded aperture blades (dedicated portrait lenses often use those to prioritize shape of bokeh balls) might be of use here. I'd just add that increasing the number of blades creates a similar effect. Lenses that have a high number of blades are better at keeping the round aperture shape as you stop them down.
Some kind of a slow, wide kit zoom will also have decent depth of field wide open, though might not be up to standard in optical quality .

>>4487466
>Focus stacking
Only good for anything that doesn't move. Can still produce some weird artefacts. Try it but be prepared for either some fucky nonsense you hope isn't obvious or to put in some work in post to make things look better
>Lower exposure
In theory yes, because you'd reduce the brilliant points of light to regularly-exposed light. Doing this is going to make your scene very, very dark without HDR bracketing which causes its own headaches similar to focus stacking (and you'll still need to edit out the sunstars on the brighter frames for the stack).

I vote you look for a slow aperture lens with rounded blades. I used the RF-S 18-45mm for a short while and while it was optically meh, it has these features and is a decent example of what you'd want. Since it's a whopping f/6.3 @ 45mm, you could theoretically get your whole scene in focus if you were far enough away. HOWEVER, there are better lenses suited for this task, this is just what I have some relevant experience with. Lots of modern lenses have rounded blades wide open for better bokeh, but sharpen intentionally stopped down to get sunstars on purpose.

>https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/dof-calculator.htm
You can use this to rough out your DoF if it's any help in picking what kind of focal length is useful. If you were say 20m away from your focus point and shooting at f/11 with the mentioned lens, you'd end up with a 60m DoF. You'll probably still get some faint, shitty sunstars at f/11 though.

>>4487466
I assume diffraction spikes dont take much of the image so a simple fix would be take the same composition exact to pixel at a much wider aperture, and then blend the layers in photoshop, it would be a tad hard but nothing impossible,

>>4488406
Some cropping will also be required if the lens exhibits any focus breathing. Modern software is pretty good at correcting for moderate amounts when stacking, but it needs to be taken into consideration when composing the shot as well.
