Nighttime Photography
 

I LOVE taking pics at night - thankfully, my camera is exceptionally good at low light and long exposure photography. I thought I would share some of my favourite pics.

Share your favourite nighttime pic~!

All the links are broken as I’m trying to view it on my phone via Tapatalk. Dying to see your images!

That's weird. Shows up on my iPhone.

Let me reset my phone and see if that helps.

Very nice Claudia!

Claudia, I'm a sports (mostly race cars) and nature photography guy. So for me, quick and easy zoom is more important than low light ability. So I have a Nikon P900 which has a 24mm to 2000mm zoom but is awful at low light.

So I'm curious, what camera do you use?

BTW, your photos were very nice... several really caught my attention!

I guess I should have posted my camera specs.

Sony a7Rii - 42 MP full frame mirrorless camera
Carl Zeiss 16-35mm lens

The reason the camera is so good at low light is because it is backside-illuminated, meaning they move all the electronics to the back of the sensor leaving more room for larger pixels. Normally a camera with this resolution would not be as good.

Majority of my night-time shots are of my cars...

But I'll get the occasional city shot...

You may not wish to believe - but it was pitch black out when this was taken. Didn't even know those Alpacas were there...

Very cool! What a lucky shot catching the lightning strike.

You reminded me that I had a couple night pics from my trip to Hawaii and Vegas. One is sunset, not nighttime, but I really dig it.

Night time photography looks great if we can capture the light traits as well. In Huawei honor 8lite there is a feature in camera where you could capture the lights traits at night and that looks great too.
