Lighting at Dusk

Shots taken at night can be breath taking, but getting a good night shot can be hard to come by. Many people have asked me about how to take good night shots and it has always been hard to explain without drawing things on paper and discussing light angles and f-stops. I happened to stumble across a great article that explains one technique with easy to understand photos and drawings by Neil Turner and thought I would share it. Neil has been working professionally since 1986 in and around London shooting for commercial clients. In 2008 he became a freelance photographer and his work is excellent.

Neil has numerous articles of interest on the techniques page of his blog that are worth checking out.
