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.

TWILIGHT TRANSPORTER
The Runcorn/Widnes Transporter Bridge is spectacularly captured above the ebbing tide of the River Mersey.
This marvel of engineering is a perfect subject for night time photography.
The use of a wide angle lens has ensured that its floodlit steel arch stretches towards a vanishing point in the distance, creating a dynamic composition with the use of 'Converging Verticals.'
Using such a dramatic perspective with a dominant subject like this can be a very powerful tool when used correctly.
