Please, really, don't judge me. I wanted to take low-light photos and my roommate was making pancakes in our kitchen with just the stove light (the other roommates were watching a movie 10 feet away). So the light is awful and yellow and dark. Plus, when you have to be bracing yourself to make sure the shot stays clear, you have very little options for interesting composition. On top of that, pancakes are just not as interesting as I hoped I could make them. So here are my failed attempts at low-light shots. What could I have done differently? Most of the shots were taken with a very slow shutter speed and a high aperture. And tungsten white balance.
I caved and used flash on these two. The top one was with daylight white balance and the lower one is tungsten. Look how blue it is!
That's my overly crowded stove... I like the mug in the middle of all that black, but its still not a very interesting shot. So if you can find some merit in these let me know, for now I'm considering them a learning experience in HOW to shoot in low-light (as opposed to deciding WHAT to shoot).
