Understanding low-light photography opens up another world of possibilities for wildlife photography. The fact is that a good deal of activity happens once the sun has gone down, and it is very rewarding to be able to share the world that comes to life with people who might not be aware of it.

However, as always, there are a few things to remember and some mistakes to avoid. Here are the ten most common low-light photography mistakes:

  1. Using Too Low an ISO
  2. Shutter Speed Too Slow
  3. Not Using a Fast Lens
  4. Relying Too Much on Autofocus
  5. Poor Exposure Compensation
  6. Ignoring White Balance
  7. Not Shooting RAW
  8. Forgetting About Subject Movement
  9. Overusing Noise Reduction
  10. Ignoring Light Sources
