Thanks for the helpful tutorial.What if you are attempting to capture a portrait in a night (city street or otherwise lit background) setting? Even a 1/2" shutter speed would be too slow, it seems.

Dont open up your aperture the whole way... DOF should also be a consideration. Especially if say you are doing a cityscape. Wide open your DOF will become shallow. If you're using a tripod, (which you should be) aperture doesn't really matter. If you have any sort of noise reduction for your camera turn it on. It'll help with the image sensor heating up and creating more noise due to the longer shutter speed.

Sorry, I can't help you. This tutorial is about taking photos of lights at night, not glamour photography!

What is the best aperture and shutter-speed to get bedroom pictures like in pornography/glamour modelling? Somebody kindly answered me before but I lost the message. I have two 500w tungsten lights but no reflectors--are these necessary? I was told also to use blue filters for these types of light, but all my experiments (for skin-tone on bed) are bad and still look like polaroids. Please someine set me right. Thanks

I find it funny how similarly most British people finish their phrases. Like at the end of each sentence. Feels like I'm watching BBC news anchor haha.Very good tutorial btw, thank you.

This is true and has been discussed in other posts below and on the dslrtips . com webpage for this tutorial. You can increase the f-number for a bigger depth of field, but it will subsequently need a longer exposure - and if it goes beyond 30 seconds, most DSLRs will need an optional cable release.
