    Bump up the shutter speed so it takes the picture faster and bump up the ISO to compensate for the faster shutter speed not letting in as much light

      Also maximise your aperture so as much light can get through as possible.

      That would help. I just saw the tunnel while biking and thought “Oh, that could make a cool tram picture” and just got my phone out of my pocket when the tram came already.

      Or, bring a tripod and crank the shutter speed to like 10 seconds or something. Then the tram becomes a giant glow snake emerging from its burrow.

    I like photos like this. The inside of the tram looks a lot more cosy when it’s dark outside and the lights are all a bit overexposed because the camera tries to compensate for the darkness.

    If you’re shooting a moving object in low light, you can try to pull off a really cool panning shot. Keep the shutter speed fairly low (1/30-1/60 ish), then follow the moving vehicle while you hit the shutter.

    For example, these are some I’ve taken over the last year. Takes a bit of time & effort to lock in the settings, but it’s a really neat effect! https://pixelfed.social/p/nbailey/576775592075641491 https://pixelfed.social/p/nbailey/714577089789421630
