I feel like night photography could always produce some of the most unique shots, since just a small change in camera settings could make the picture look completely different. Share your night photography here.

These were all taken at a beach near my house.

Night photography is something I've barely experimented with, but would really like to learn more about. Here are just a couple of my amateur attempts (didn't even have a tripod to use).




These next two can appear quite different depending on ones brightness and contrast of their monitor. Should be able to see silhouettes in the foreground.

I have more somewhere, but need to figure out where I filed them away.

Incognito, what is that a silouhette of in the first silouhette picture. I think it is a satellite, but for some reason, it makes me think of a sunken ship.

Both of you have great shots. It's weird how surreal night photographs can look.

Here are my other two from last night.

Oh yeah, this was from a set I did playing with slow exposure while riding in the car. This is downtown Jefferson City, Missouri.

It is a silhouette of a gamma ray telescope. Like a big satellite dish, but with lots of mirrors to reflective trace amounts of blue light to a photomultiplier tube. Here is what one looks like at sunset.

My first time using my camera at night, and I'd say it turned out pretty well!

[raptrlvr]

I don't do much night photography, but, early this morning before the sun came up I took this shot. It wouldn't have turned out at all except a couple of cars pulled into the area with their headlights on. Those are sandhill cranes at the Bosque Del Apache in San Antonio, New Mexico;

I also tried out photographing the moon a few nights ago. . .

How about some fire?

These are always fun to try - this is Bryce National Park

Bryce National Park

How about the same place in the day?

[Seattle]

That's not fair! You need to try it at night - I had a good moon and no clouds.

[Jenny81]

I have a few snapshots that I took during the night.

[Liam]

I like fire.

I forgot to post this one. One of my favorites! A nighttime thunderstorm!
