Thursday’s Special: Night Photography (Response to Guest Challenge)
On this link you will find today’s challenger and learn more (unless you know it already) about shooting in the dark 😀
I like having people around, and Cardinal Guzman is a regular around here. So, give his challenge some thought and effort and leave me your links.
The above photo is from a very nice night walk I took at the end of January. One person (at least) among you is bound to recognise the place.
Happy Thursday!
Here is the list and links to the participating posts:

Your birthday trip!
Lovely shot Paula.
I love night photography – in urban areas it has the advantage of plenty of light even on a miserable winter night.

Beautiful photograh Paula. I love the ambience that night photography gives but I seem to get lots of colourful lines on mine. I am rarely in a place to take buildings that are illuminated but following the tips we were given today I might have better luck (or should I say skill). Great night music also.

I think you did fine. You could not invent light when there is none, but to me these photos of your really convey the feeling of a deep blue night and I like them.

Haha, this was a great surprise Paula! I got your email that my guest post was coming up this week, but with my goldfish memory I’d already forgotten about it.
I’ll see if I can shoot a new night photo and join your (my) challenge. I have my son this week/weekend, but I’ll come up with a solution. Your night photo is lovely with a nice composition. I love walking around in cities at night with my camera.

So many centres of light in the darkness: the warm glow of the building, the star-sparkle of the street lights, and the elliptoid gleam illuminating the stairs. I hope it’s a metaphor for your state of mind in the gloom of your present.
