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.

TORONTO TOWERS
Canada's largest city, is also Canada's most cosmopolitan city.
The architecture here is simply stunning and in keeping with most urbanised environments, has the most photographic potential as twilight approaches.
Here the famous New City Hall in the city's Nathan Phillips Square is photographed on a weekday around 5pm, when the myriad of office lights are still burning brightly.
The image would not have the same impact had the building been in darkness.
An exposure of around 20 seconds has allowed the water cascading from the fountains to become an ethereal blur and has allowed the single bright floodlight to record as a dynamic starburst.
