Night
It has been said that for a photographer ”Night-time is the right-time”.
As day finally succumbs to night, the challenges placed upon a photographer to capture the true essence of what is present become ever more intense.
The decisions are plentiful. Light can be modified in so many ways, varying ultimately upon the manner of its supply. But the rewards for overcoming any hurdles associated with this time of day can produce outstanding results.
Arguably the most important element to consider when capturing ”Night” is to shoot around twilight, when the deep cyan colour of clear evening light remains, providing a backdrop to enhance any image.

CAERNARFON CASTLE AT NIGHT
Caernarfon Castle dominates the quayside at the entrance to the Afon Seiont river estuary in Gwynedd North Wales.
This magnificent castle is beautifully floodlit at night offering an ideal opportunity to capture its majestic form reflected in the ebbing tide.
Here a small fishing boat is pressed into service to provide interest in the foreground and balance the composition.
A 2 stop ND Grad filter was used to hold back the very bright floodlit walls.
