urban night photography
introduction
photographing urban city lights adds an extra bonus to your travel photography
shooting about 10-25 minutes after sunset will give your cloudless sky a nice deep blue
shooting when the full moon is up and behind you will help to fill in the shadows a bit
use a tripod
for best image quality, you need a sturdy tripod, lowest ISO, medium apertures (eg. f/8) for adequate sharpness and
depth of field (DOF), and this results in long exposures such as:
you should consider bracketing your exposures +/- 0.5 EV, of you can do a full HDR bracket (eg. 3 shot +/- 1EV, 5 shot +/- 2EV in total)
make sure you have focus on infinity if you have no important close subjects, otherwise consider focusing on the hyperfocal distance for that set up.
if you don't have a tripod
