Night

We want to see your street photographs taken at night.🌛

Think about how your area looks in low light, where are the main sources of artificial light, neon signs, bus stations, shop fronts? Think about how you can use these light sources to create atmosphere or make your photo more cinematic.🎥

Decide on a focal length that suits what you’re trying to capture—maybe a wide-angle lens for the whole scene or a longer lens to focus on smaller details. Try experimenting with longer exposures to add some motion blur or make the image feel more dynamic. You could also play around with white balance settings to change the mood of your shots or create a completely different feel. Use this as a chance to try out new ideas and see how these techniques can change the look and feel of your night street photographs.
