Vibrant colour abounds at night with office lighting, street lamps and car trails.
Vibrant colour abounds at night with office lighting, street lamps and car trails. Again, shooting in colour is the obvious thing to do, yet monochrome can produce rewarding images too. Blackness and deep shadows inevitably dominate, and any highlights present in the scene are often intense and can burn out. But the high contrast, relative lack of delicate mid-tones and darkness can work very nicely in black & white. Shoot raw to give more flexibility when it comes to dealing with the highlights and pools of darkness.
