Just been looking at the nightflying discussion on the main board. Have any of you big shot aerial camera operators tried taking pictures at night? I imagine you'd get some nice patterns and reflections, especially on water.

Dont even try!!!

I got my rapturd and camera all set up to shoot a live fire burn of a house down the street. I had lots of glow sticks and glow wire so the heli was well see from any position!! the problem lies in the pictures. Nothing came out accept the fire. I even took shots of the parking lot that had lights on it and it came out black. even with 800 speed film. you can try but dont hope for much.

Photograph "drawing with light"

Night = dark

Did this reply answer your query? helpfullness score out of 10 ___


Actually I think Airfoil did a respectable night video showing the lights of a town or something. Some video cameras will perform OK down to relatively low light levels. Thinking about it I have an ultra low-lux Ex-View HAD Sony chip CCD camera that goes down to near infra red, it reproduces colours better than the naked eye in low light. This will certainly leave ISO800 film way behind "in the dark" - just a thought, perhaps a shade more constructive than the above. Bottom line, most stills photo solutions will seriously struggle at night for all sorts of reasons (like they normally need tripods) that is - unless you use infra red film.

Cheers!

My first post, so bear with me
Airfoil worked a night shot last December. Video taken about 30 minutes after dusk. Does a good job as long as your camera has low enough lux
