When the sun goes down and sky gradually turns dark doesn’t mean you’ll have to keep your camera in the bag. In fact, it is during the night where some of the most beautiful photos are snapped. No doubt shooting under low light is challenging, but by getting familiar with the shutter speed, exposures, lightning and taking advantages of surrounding objects often help compensate the light and create amazing output.
Here’s a collection of 60 Examples of Beautiful Night Shots, taken by avid and professional photographers who jumped into action when the sun sets.

ReplyJust a curiosity…
Do you know that you can’t publish night shot of the Eiffel tower? That’s a copyrighted image. :|
you can take photos of the tower by night, but you aren’t allowed to publish it anywhere. that’s crazy :|
photos by day, no problem, but by night you’re not allowed.
they probably want to make a lot of money with postcards or something. meh!

A truly breathtaking collection of pictures!! I was amazed when i came across this post. I especially like the shot of Hong Kong taken from Victoria Peak.
Replyhongkiat May 27th, 2009
@ladycooper I’ve to admit it’s a bit bias on that. Perhaps I’ve seen too many night shots on Twin Tower to actually shortlist one that is really great. All are good.
@Honeymoon Agreed, Hong Kong has one of the best night views, whether it’s Victoria Peak or The Peak.
