Have you experienced difficulty in taking night pictures? I know everyone has, night pictures are most of the time... blurred! This is because Photography is all about light. Simply put, it is creating a picture with a proper balance of light. Whenever you take photos the first thing you have to check is lighting, it could be from the moon, city lights, or from vehicles, candles , your camera flash or from whatever source.
Night photography is the art of making the most out of these available lights to create a tangible image that is artistic and pleasing to the eye. Photographers most of the time uses a long exposure, in layman's term, you are exposing the scene longer for seconds, minutes or even hours so more lights will be captured by your camera lens to come up with a good picture.
Night Photography is one thing that I enjoy the most, it is that moment when you shut everything around you and and all there is, is the darkness... your camera... and your subject... it's a great escape.. priceless!
