Low light photography of Morelia

I don't really know what I'm doing, just playing with manual and aperture to see what kind of pics I could take in low light settings

Beautiful shots!. It looks like you're taking the photos in their natural habitat instead of their cages. Thanks for sharing.

That last picture is stunning. I like the way the background is dark and some light is on the animal.

Thanks guys.

In all those pictures I'm just using the cage light, which is pretty bright. Don't know how I got the background to darken like that. Not sure whether it was due to shutter speed(1/40) or the aperature(5.3) does anyone know?

What was your ISO set to? Were you using flash?
I think low ISO and flash is what gets these effects (for my camera at least)
ISO 800, no flash

ISO 50, flash

Aperature of 6.3

Shutter speed 1/40

ISO of 640

Taken about a foot or so away from the snake.

Actually I don't even know what ISO exactly is... as said before I don't know what I'm doing lol.


EDIT: no flash. These were all for the purpose of taking pics in low light settings so the only light was from the cage.

I can get into detail here but to someone who's just taking pictures, think of ISO as your brightness.
Believe it or not, using flash + lowest ISO available will get you great pictures because it'll light up your subject but not the background.

nikon d5200 with the 18-105 kit lens.

Although the picture with the zebra is a little blurrier than the rest. Not sure why.

Re: Low light photography of Morelia

Zebra pic is the coolest because the branches fade into the black at both ends.
