<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ar6D2IGL88nx0x0ArD1iwv-JKxU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ar6D2IGL88nx0x0ArD1iwv-JKxU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p>If you’re currently looking to purchase a new DSLR and are interested in night photography and long exposures, you may be wondering what camera should I choose?<span id="more-450"></span></p>
<p>The answer is, pretty much any camera that has a long exposure mode will do for most types of night photography. The bare minimum features needed to take a night photo are:</p>
<ul>
<li>BULB or Shutter release mode</li>
<li>Adjustable ISO</li>
<li>Adjustable shutter speed</li>
</ul>
<p>As far as I’m aware all DSLR cameras on the market today have all those features. Some manufacturers such as Nikon have some excellent in-camera software that allow merging of photos to allow some very impressive results when it comes to <a href="http://adcuz.co.uk/how-to-articles/how-to-light-painting/">light painting</a> and <a href="http://adcuz.co.uk/how-to-articles/how-to-create-a-long-exposure-photo/">long exposures</a>. </p>
<h2>Ideal DSLR cameras for beginners</h2>
<p>This is a small list of entry level DSLR cameras that are perfect for night photography beginners.</p>
<h3>Canon EOS Rebel T3 (Canon EOS 1100D UK)</h3>
<p><img src="http://adcuz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/canon_eos1100d.gif" alt="Canon EOS Rebel T3" title="Canon EOS Rebel T3" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px" width="120" height="93" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-457" />The Canon EOS Rebel T3 / 1100D is the entry level DSLR in the EOS range, but this does not mean it lacks ability to produce brilliant quality images. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&x=0&ref_=nb_sb_noss&y=0&field-keywords=Canon%20EOS%20Rebel%20T3&url=search-alias%3Daps#?_encoding=UTF8&tag=adcuphotblog-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957">More Info »</a></p>

<h3>Nikon D3000</h3>
<p><img src="http://adcuz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/nikon_d3000-100x100.png" alt="nikon_d3000-100x100" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px" title="Nikon D3000" width="100" height="100" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-458" />Much like the Canon EOS Rebel T3, the Nikon D3000 is the entry level DSLR in the Nikon range, however it’s no lightweight when it comes to features or image quality. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&x=0&ref_=nb_sb_noss&y=0&field-keywords=Canon%20EOS%20Rebel%20T3&url=search-alias%3Daps#?url=search-alias=aps?_encoding=UTF8&tag=adcuphotblog-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957">More Info »</a></p>

I decided to use <a href="http://www.mcanvasprints.co.uk/">MCanvasPrints.co.uk</a>, they seemed to get good reviews. I went for a 12×18 Canvas with a Gallery Wrap, which basically means the photo is stretched around the edges so the sides are also printed on, which looks great with the photo I have chosen. I mounted it on the wall straight away and took some photos. Check it out:</p>
<p><img src="http://adcuz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/canvas3.jpg" alt="Canvas Print" title="Canvas Print" width="909" height="606" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-441" /><br />

<p>I’m really pleased with the result and cannot fault the canvas or printing quality. I’d thorougly recommend <a href="http://www.mcanvasprints.co.uk/">MCanvasPrints.co.uk</a> for <a href="http://www.mcanvasprints.co.uk/">Canvas Prints</a>.<br />
