Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, TS-E 24mm, 30secs at f\/10, ISO 100<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Many cities, in fact most, look their best at night. Darkness hides clutter and imperfections whilst artificial illumination highlights the best bits, such as castles, cathedrals and bridges. So in this quest to investigate the nature of the light in all its forms, which is the fundamental building block of our art, let\u2019s analyse and deconstruct the challenges, pitfalls, frustrations and rewards of shooting city lights.<\/p>\n<p>Successful city night photography is all about preparation. As ever, finding the location is the most difficult part, and you will need to scout out potential shoots thinking through how they\u2019ll look illuminated at night. A tricky thing to do, because until we see it for real it\u2019s pretty much impossible to envisage. Spending a night wandering the city looking at the floodlighting on key buildings and features is the best preparation; there is simply no substitute for \u2018eyeballing\u2019 a scene.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">City lights &#8211; Timing is everything<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve planned the shoot, discerned how the scene will be lit, scouted for obstructions and are now beside the tripod waiting for the lights to come on. That\u2019s the way to do it, as city lights photography is all about timing. You may think you have all night but in reality the decisive moment will only last minutes. The prime time is when the artificial illuminations match the twilight sky after sunset. That balance is the key, and endlessly variable. Much of it depends on how bright the city lights are: the brighter they are the earlier we can shoot. Sometimes I like the sky to be a deep blue with the artificial lights appearing bright and dominant. Other times I like to shoot earlier with a brighter sky retaining the last mauves of sunset, and with the unobtrusively discernible city lights below.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_108647&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108647 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/city-lights-Singapore-skyline.jpg\" alt=\"city lights Singapore skyline\" width=\"1000\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/city-lights-Singapore-skyline.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/city-lights-Singapore-skyline.jpg?resize=300,95 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/city-lights-Singapore-skyline.jpg?resize=630,200 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/city-lights-Singapore-skyline.jpg?resize=900,285 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/city-lights-Singapore-skyline.jpg?resize=562,178 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The skyline from the Esplanade showing Marina Bay and the Central Business District, Singapore. Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 24-70mm, 4secs at f\/4, ISO 100<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Adjusting white balance for night shoots is again a matter of taste. The blue residual ambient light will have a sky-high colour temperature, whilst the street lighting and illuminations could be anything \u2013 fluorescent, tungsten or a gelled garish pink. Trying to achieve a neutral white balance in such situations is virtually impossible and pretty pointless. The whole attraction of city nightscapes is usually based around showing the multitude of colours painting the scene. I leave the camera on daylight, as usual, and that\u2019s that. I rarely tweak the colour balance in Lightroom. But then again we shouldn\u2019t ignore the power of black &amp; white. A nightscape of Paris rendered in black &amp; white can be achingly evocative.<\/p>\n<p>So far I\u2019ve only mentioned shooting at dusk. Of course there\u2019s nothing to say that the same balance between ambient and artificial light can\u2019t be achieved at dawn. In practice though it doesn\u2019t often work; floodlights are usually turned off in the early hours. That business of not knowing when and if the lights are going to come on has often caught me out. Many a time I\u2019ve waited and waited as the sky turns from pink to blue to inky black, before abandoning the shoot as it\u2019s then too late. Inevitably as I trudge away exasperatedly the lights then come on, just to taunt me. It\u2019s all part of the game, so often frustrating, occasionally rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>A belief that city-light photography must be done when there\u2019s still some tone left in the twilight sky is a rule just waiting to be broken. I think it holds true if there\u2019s a great deal of sky in the frame, but for bustling streets shooting through the night is certainly an option. There is all sorts of potential: from night markets to nightlife. And, for more options, think about shooting in the city at night without a tripod, or flash.<\/p>\n<p>The high-ISO capabilities of recent cameras open up a whole new world of nocturnal photographic opportunities on the streets of Paris, Saigon or London. Technological advances also present any number of possibilities, which stimulate inspiration. Misty landscapes at dawn take some beating, but occasionally the bright city lights beckon. I\u2019ll see you there \u2013 dodging the tripod gendarmes together.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_108650&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108650 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/City-lights-Magic-Fountain-and-National-Park-Barcelona.jpg\" alt=\"cities at night, Magic Fountain and National Park, Barcelona\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/City-lights-Magic-Fountain-and-National-Park-Barcelona.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/City-lights-Magic-Fountain-and-National-Park-Barcelona.jpg?resize=300,451 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/City-lights-Magic-Fountain-and-National-Park-Barcelona.jpg?resize=266,400 266w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/City-lights-Magic-Fountain-and-National-Park-Barcelona.jpg?resize=900,1354 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/City-lights-Magic-Fountain-and-National-Park-Barcelona.jpg?resize=562,845 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The Magic Fountain and National Palace at night, Montjuic, Barcelona, Spain.

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/08\/City-lights-Sydney.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-22 10:41:46","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108651"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108716,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108651\/revisions\/108716"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108651"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=108651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
