Nikon D60 - Night Portrait Photography
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- The Nikon D60 isn't too bad if you have the correct lenses AND if you have enough light to work with. It's an oldie but a goodie. You'll definitely need a fast aperture lens to really get the best low light settings, like the 35mm 1.8G DX or the 50mm 1.8G lenses I used. If you're just starting out with night photos, I would HIGHLY recommend a tripod to make sure your images aren't blurry from hand held shots.
With night photography, it just REALLY depends how much light you get to work with. With the D60, I feel like anything above ISO800 the images will turn out quite grainy and images not as sharp as you'd like them to be. BUT, the D60 didn't have too much trouble catching focus while I was taking these shots too! Which was actually quite surprising to me. It's still an awesome camera to use. I've done a review on this camera already, but have YOU used your D60 (or had a D60) and used it for night photography? Let me know!

you have to make the same one with the nikon d70. cameras with CCD sensors have a beautiful grain and the tones come out with a strong saturation that gives a special look to the photographs. good channel I already saw several videos continue like this and add analog lenses.
Yep! The D70 video is in the works right now. And I totally agree about the grain on the D70. The grain from the D70 has special characteristics to it.
Which is better CCD or CMOS? Im new to photograph and i found d60 very cheap
@@BoostLeekdMedia Its the same sensor, into the D70s, D40 & D50. Thing is, with D70(s), the profile (JPG) is more flat, for further processing. However, the D40 JPEGs are more punchy, contrasty hereby. That's what i've read on the web, because ever since, i only shoot RAW with these guys. 🙂
Really great video. Thanks! Showing us all you don’t need much kit, just imagination and a nice subject!
You're welcome!
WoW, just awesome
Man you are the best about this type of videos.
Thanks!!
I have bought the D100 (1st DSLR, 2002) the D50, D70s, D40, D60, D80, D90 & D7000. Sold the D50 and D70s in 2009-10, but bought the D70s again, for 20 bucks with 8K clicks. :)
Nice! Great find on that D70s! I still need to get my hands on a D100!
@@BoostLeekdMedia The D70s or D70 (2004, 2005) is all way a better camera, then the D100 (2002). It's similar to the F80, which i shoot for >20 years, from body design.
Thanks bro for posting this keep them coming
Thank you!
fantastic!! loved it from oslo norway
Awesome! Thank you!
Bought d80 because of its CCD sencor for 15 bucks but then paid 20 to fix it later when it started to cause problems with aperture. As for the pics i liked only ones shot with its kit lens 18-55.
Nice! That's not a bad price for it and especially for fixing it too! Thanks for sharing!
@@BoostLeekdMediaone of the advantages to live in a poor country :-)
I like the 18-55 lens too, especially the VR version. It turns an inexpensive camera into a great one.
Love the video mate !
Please do similar video with these lenses on Nikon 5000 series
Check out my D5100 portraits video here :) czcams.com/video/1eWjXIz7aTQ/video.html
I did mate its very nice ! Can you do more videos like these ?
Great Video this helps me out alot. I have a friend that has a D60 and is just starting out in Photagraphy on a buget. She wants todo Portraits Photagraphy mostly of kids. I would like to buy a lens for here as a gift. That 50mm 1.8 G seems to be very good . I'm thinking if she upgrades in the future that lens could continue with on her journey. I know Nikon make great manual fast 50mm but for entry level and she also want to shoot kids it would be cheaper but frustrating to nail focus.
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.
Regards Sean
The 50mm 1.8G is definitely an excellent lens. How good is the 50mm 1.8G? I'm on my 3rd copy. I sold my last 2 and I've always come back to it. That's how good it is. See if you can find a used 50mm 1.8G locally. I STILL remember dropping $220 on a brand new 50mm 1.8G back when it was released. And wow, it did not disappoint. I hope your friend really improves their photography with that lens because it was stuck on my camera for a few months :)
@@BoostLeekdMedia thank you for getting back to me. She does old school stop motion videos for kids and wants to try portraits. I will try ebay as well for a 50mm .
It's funny now that I watched your video I put my canon Nifty 50 and used it all weekend.lol
Hi. Have you done a video how to use a handhold flash on the d60?
I have not. But I have used the Godox AD200 with my Nikon D60 though. The only "downside" is the D60 not being able to do high speed sync flash.
Essa Nikon como vejo para tirar a foto pelo siplay ,mm
It's good but how can eliminate some of those grain
best way to really solve the grain is photographing during the daylight or use an external flash.
Hey man, love the video. Can you let me know what Yongnuo light you’re using? Very interested
Yeah! The Yongnuo light I'm using is the Yongnuo YN360. Can get one here: amzn.to/2Pe7IqW
Hey should I rather buy the Nikon D60 or a Sony alpha 290?
which is best lens for d60?😊
Hard to say because the "best lens" is the one that fits your style of photography. If you're just beginning, I would 100% start out with either the Sigma or Tamron 17-50 F2.8 lens.
@@BoostLeekdMedia thank you so much🥰
I have this camera bro wanna buy it.
Your channel is blowing up bro! Keep it going
Haha! Thank you, sir! So is yours!
@@BoostLeekdMedia lol too bad I'm a Sony guy haha
@@ChiaTalks
*GAAAASPPPPP!!*
Hahah! jk. It's all good, I have a Sony too :D
Are you adjusting for exposure before adding the light to the shot?
I am adjusting the exposure after adding the light.
great video
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Hell I still have my d80 and it works great, I use it for my back up.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching! Good to know another D80 is still being used. :D
What was the name of that portable light
It's the Yongnuo YN360
I have the same camera could you tell me what settings and adjustments you had. While doing this night shoot please
Hey Jordan! My settings are on the lower left corner when the images are shown, that's the EXIF; which is basically my settings. I hope this helps.
Hi, I’m looking into taking some portraits and was wondering what you think of the 35mm lens that you used in this video. I already use a Nikon 70-300mm AF-P lens so i’m not sure if it is worth buying the 35mm. Many thanks
the 70-300 is a great entry level zoom lens. The 35mm 1.8G DX lens would be the better, especially if you want a lens that's good for portraits. I would definitely recommend the 35mm lens. Thanks for watching!
@@BoostLeekdMedia Thanks for your reply. Have you tried the Nikon 50mm 1.8D lens? If so what do you think of it? I’ve got a D50 so autofocus would work with it I believe. Really enjoying the videos keep it up. Subscribed
@@ivo1632 The 50mm 1.8D was my first 50mm lens :D. For what they're worth now, especially if they're in great condition, they're really worth the money. I purchased my 50mm 1.8D for $60 and I thought it was amazing at the time since this was right around when the 1.8G was released. But the 50mm 1.8D was really good, especially for the price. It's not as 'sharp' or contrasty as the 1.8G but it definitely holds it 's ground. I might grab another 1.8D because of how small it was, haha. Thanks for watching!!
What lens would u suggest that is good for street photography and portraits as well?
I would highly suggest the 50mm 1.8G lens. I do have the amazon affiliate link in the video description. I feel like the 50mm 1.8G is an excellent lens for street photography and for portraits. Hope this helps!
Any problems with the autofocus?
Only in extreme low light situations. I haven't had any major autofocusing issues. If there are issues, hopefully you get another lens to make sure it's the lens and not the camera as well.
Which one is the best lens if you'll only choose 1 for night time photography, will it be the 35mm or 50mm?
I would choose the 35mm F/1.8G DX :)
Thanks man! How bout the 85mm, whats ur opinion with it? It has less noise in the background compared to 35 and 50. Is 85mm a good choice too compared to 35mm and 50mm?
@@starshades478 The noise is coming from the camera compensating for low light situations.
The 85 is tough because, if you're not in manual mode or not using a tripod, the camera will automatically adjust the ISO and the shutter speed, making your images look blurry and have a lot of grain.
If you know what you're doing, the 85 is a very nice street lens.
How bout during the day, does this 3 lenses do well under bright sun? Which one will u pick if only one for D60?
Hi I’m a complete beginner when it comes to cameras and photography. Would you recommend this for a beginner? Thank you.
Or should I go with the Nikon D40?
Yes I would! If you can grab the Nikon D60 over the D40, do it. I started out with the D40 but the D60 is also an excellent camera to start out with. Especially if you're on a budget. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha, I still shoot my D60! My images put so many fauxtographers to shame.
How much does it cost? I'm buying one that has been used for 5+ years for $70
For $70, thats an awesome deal! I got my D60 for $100!
@@BoostLeekdMedia alright, thanks I was not sure if it was a good deal since the camera was quite old.
is good this camera?
It's an excellent camera to start with, especially if you can find one under $100 USD. They "should" go for under $100 USD since the Nikon D60 is a much older camera now, and they most likely have been used fairly often too.
Check out my review on it here: czcams.com/video/sE4Z0b_sr_w/video.html
Looks very noisy on plasma screen
Yeah, the D60 gets really noisy after ISO800.
Girls this is you cute
lol my phones is doing better photos
phones aren't bad at all but techwise, it's no where near an old D60 with a good lens on it.
