There are a few genres of photography that I would be interested in learning more about but one in particular would have to be night photography. I have tried before to take great pictures at night but have not really been able to so I would like to try and master it. There are many interesting ways of using what available low light you have around at the time of taking the shot, there are also many factors you have to think about as like the time of exposure, the lighting you are given, using a tripod helps, you’re ISO, shutter speeds and apertures have to be controlled all have to be considered to take a great picture and you have to master it and know the technique cold, thats what i would like to do.

Here are some images and information about night photography:

This is an example of low light or night photography, i like this one because it shows what you can do with motion and light. I also like how the lights bring out the picture they are vibrate in color, nice contrast from the dark background.

This is a photo of how having a longer exposure time can make the lights pull across the frame making your point of focus where you want the viewer to look.

I really like this one because you still have contrast and texture and the color of the sky with the stars is amazing it is not your standard almost black and white looking night shot. I am not to fond of the arangment of the shot but the example of night photography is what makes this image a good example.
