Outdoor Photography How To

If you find yourself in a rut and need some inspiration to boost creativity, you’ve come to the right place at the right time. That’s because in barely three minutes you’ll pick up several shooting and editing tips for making eye-popping photos at night.

The idea here is to give you a creative outlet for making stunning images that look different from those you’ve shot in the past. And the good news is you don’t need any special gear, apart from a sturdy tripod.

The great thing about shooting after the sun drops below the horizon is this: Scenes that appear boring during the day are transformed into magical tableaus full of sparking lights, intriguing colors, and the opportunity to capture motion everywhere you look.

Unlike most tutorials we post, this one is less about camera settings, techniques and other technical matters than the necessity of looking at the world differently when shooting after dark. And once you develop this mindset there are limitless opportunities for capturing breathtaking photos that aren’t possible during the day.
