This week’s challenge is night photography!

There are so many things you can do at night including:

• city lights
• night portraits
• star trails
• light painting
• night sky, stars and the Milky Way
• the moon
• fire spinning (steel wool)
• HDR is great at night especially on neon and city lights
• car light trails
• ghost making

The possibilities go on and on so you have no excuse for lack of subject matter or ideas. So grab your tripod (you’ll need it), your remote trigger, and a friend (helps if you’re light painting and is infinitely more fun than by yourself) and head out into the night to take some photos.
