Nikon has some of the most impressive line up of professional Low Light Street Lenses that are both affordable and very easy to use. Whether you are using the Nikon digital cameras or film SLRs, these low light street lenses could help you get the best professional quality photo within acceptable ISO settings ranging from 400 to 800 ASA.
There are a few things to consider when choosing the right kind of low light photography lenses. While cost is a big part of the consideration for amateur photographers, the quality of photos & the ease of use come in next.
I always carry a few of these professional quality lenses in my street photography camera bag at all times. Most of them are extremely light and does not really add anything to the weight that I have to haul around on street photo shoots.
The photos of the Millennium Park in Chicago & the man crossing the street at night are taken close to midnight in Chicago, IL and makes use of the ambient light only. The camera was handheld & there were no filters or post processing done for any digital corrections. I used the Nikon 35mm f1.4G lens & the Nikon 50mm AF f1.8D lens for these low light situations.
The photo of the casino in Reno, CA was taken past mid-night while people were returning to their home after the New Year’s celebration in 2008. This one uses an external Nikon speedlight flash to accentuate the snow flakes.
The last photo is that of the tram cars in San Francisco, CA taken handheld with a Nikon 17 – 35mm f2.8 wide angle zoom lens.
