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.

SKY ON FIRE
A firework spectacular lights up the sky over Cholmondeley castle in Central Cheshire.
The castle grounds host a series of events throughout the summer and this image was taken at the annual Manchester Camerata firework concert held in July.
The capturing of fireworks in an image requires careful use of both timing and exposure. One must ensure that the trails of the projectiles are recorded.
Use too long an exposure and the confusion of multiple bursts obliterating the sky may prove to be more of a distraction than attraction.
