How can I take the best pictures at night time?

Are you asking about taking pictures with an iPhone? Which model are you using?

And what kind of photos do you want to take? Portraits of people at night? The city lights? Or the starry sky?

It will depend on your iPhone model, what the iPhone can do for you automatically.

But some general advice.

• Night photos will require a long exposure time. So it will help a lot, if you can stabilise the iPhone to reduce motion blur. Use a tripod or prevent it from shaking in another way.
• Enable the flash, if you want to take pictures of people or objects that are near you. (Use iPhone camera tools to set up your shot – Apple Support (UK))
• On a recent iPhone model you can use the night-mode to take pictures in low light situations, see: Take Night mode photos with your iPhone camera – Apple Support (UK) Night Mode will combine several shots into one picture for more detail. It will only work well, if there are no moving objects.

1. Open Camera . In low-light situations, Night mode turns on automatically.
2. Tap  at the top of the screen to turn Night mode off and on.
3. To experiment with Night mode, tap , tap  in the row of options at the bottom of the screen, then drag the slider left or right to choose between the Auto and Max timers. With Auto, the time is determined automatically; Max uses the longest exposure time. The setting you choose is saved for your next Night mode shot.
4. Tap the Shutter button, then hold your iPhone still to take your shot.
5. Crosshairs appear in the frame if your iPhone detects movement during capture—align the crosshairs to help you reduce motion and improve the shot.
6. To stop taking a Night mode shot mid-capture, tap the Stop button below the slider.

Get a mini tripod for the iPhone similar to this one:

The flexible legs can wrap around tree limbs or posts to hold the iPhone steady. When using it use the 10 second delay so you can move away from the iPhone and let it come to rest before it takes the picture.

They're available at Amazon.com for about $8.
