It's my assumption that the challenge was framed as "late at night" rather than "at night" in order to cut the ubiquitous twilight shots out of the herd and force us to deal with images taken in "real" darkness. You'll note that there's currently a good-sized moon up, which I doubt is coincidental... I'd hope that the "pretty" twilight shots will get shafted by the voters, but I ain't holding my breath. For sure, we got no decent lightscapes here, so darkness is where I'll be at. Meet ya at the graveyard in the witching hour, folks.

Nothing in the challenge will keep you from bringing light into the darkness. I expect to see many excellent images that are "painted with light", for example. What I'm hoping we WON'T see is the colorful aftermaths of spectacular sunsets.

Late at night is when most people are asleep in bed but it probably won't matter much unless you're taking a picture of a clock.
I'm exited about this one, I have three ideas already.

Those are sweet. Some are so bright though that voters may knock them for not meeting the challenge. I foresee a lot of lengthy explanations in submission titles:
"Gas Station - taken at 3am with a six minute shutter speed and aperture wide open which is why it looks so bright, but it's really not daytime - I'll show you my exif data!"

I'm going foolproof with this one. There will be absolutely no definition, interpretation, screwed up logic, flesh eating virus, vitamin deficiency, internal conflict, UFO relations, an unwinable bout with drugs, blindness or anything else that will possibly allow people question that validity of my entry as not being the definitive, textbook, "Late Night" image.
Playin it close to the vest on this one.

| Can I take pictures at 11:34pm everyone knows on a digital clock upside down it spells h e l l. Definately going to be a tough challenge just because only 6-7 nights to get your shot. |

| Since I am new to digital photography, this will really be a challenge to me. Any tips are welcome..I did buy a tripod for stability..I guess I can mess around with the manual settings...Is it difficult to focus at night? |

| I think the biggest problem is available light or lack of it. I was alos wondering if anyone had any experiences taking photo's of lightning. |

OK. It's 11:10. Can I go out and take my shot now or do I need to wait another hour to qualify as "Late Night"???
I'm not breaking any more rules from now on....

While the above is one style, that is, the well lit night image, it is not the only style but my gut feeling is that images representing the true values of the night is not highly received. They prefer only dazzle. |
The don't wanna see shots like this. This shot would be to earily to fit the challenge.
This shot however fits the challenge.

Here is a website I visit occasionally. It is dedicated to night photography, moonlight photography, extreme exposures, painting with light... yadda yadda yadda:
