Hi all,
I'm going to be shooting a feature this winter with a Canon XHA1 and Letus Extreme, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get proper exposure for night scenes. Of course the most important elements are sufficient light and fast lenses, but does anyone have any other suggestions. i.e. are there any custom presets on the XHA1 that work well with low light situations?
I did a couple of tests with the setup using a Nikon 50mm f2 lens, but a lot of the background was still completely black without any detail. I'd like to avoid using the gain switch on the camera as it makes the image look like crap.
Any suggestions or stories about shooting at night would be great, thanks!
Tom
