Night photography is fascinating and inspiring as we observe our surroundings transform into different kinds of beauty. Night presents a different kind of quiet, solitude, mood, energy, and introspection. We will be working with several types of night photography, e.g., the night skies, urban scenes, creating car trails, street photography, etc. The urban landscape becomes a visceral scene with splashes of sparkle and glitter while the moon casts a gentle glow and night skies come alive in a luminous dance of light and shadow. You need to understand f/Stop, Shutter Speed and ISO, Exposure, able to shoot in Manual Modes, familiar with your camera to enable you to work in the low and dark light, and have computer software to edit your Camera RAW files.
