My question is whats the difference between late night...PM, and early morning....AM? And will AM images be DQed because they are not night PM images? :-)
And why is everybody assumeing that the image as to be made with avaliable light? Most of us have flash capabilities.

| If you're taking night photos, sunsets distract from the focus of the picture in my opinion. Unless they are your main subject, black skies provide a background just as blue skies do during the day. |

Hello everyone! I had never tried a photo "outside late at night" until yesterday night, and I have to say thank you that you made me do it! It's very very very hard! I want to know if there is any possibility to make a decent picture, knowing that: my camera has 1" max time of exposure , and I live in Rome where all the street lights are orange.
In my yesterday night attempt I tried random different settings of the camera, but all the pictures I got were orange and with poor definition, even if I used a tripod and hi resolution. Any suggestions?
Thanks again! |

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. |
Hey graphicfunk, whenever I get a comment from you I take it very serious. one comment from you equals 3 comments from other people. You used the word "Dazzle" alot when commenting my photos. I just want you to know that I don't have one sunset photo in my portfolio, the nightshots are all at around midnight or later, so I wonder what you meant about representing the values of night. |

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

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....

| 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. |

| 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? |

| 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. |
