Improving my night skills

Hello IF Community! I am a huge fan of night photography so I decided to give it a try (again) at my home airport. I went 3 days at ~9-10pm and tried to get the best shots I could do. Now I’m proud of how good I’ve become.

Nice photos! By the way what settings were you using because I want to make some night photos today

Each photo has different settings but all were between 1/8s and 0.6s with ISO5000 to ISO10000

Alright thanks! I hope iso 6400 is enough

Depends, if the plane is stopped, yiu can increase he exposure time and have a good lighting, my spot has almost 0 light, the only light is from the aircraft itself and form the terminal 1km away. I shot Air France at ISO6400 so you should be fine. Just don’t move, that solves all problems. If the plane is moving, that might be a problem though. It also depends on the camera you have, I did my pictures handheld but that might be impossible if your camera doesn’t have a good enough stabiliser, you’ll have to try a bit of everything, others people settings won’t work for you, lenses, the amount of light there’s at your spot, all those settings are different and needs different settings to take the picture, the only way is to try, makes mistakes, try again until you get it

seeing planes at night with their lights on are cool
