Information and tips about photographing in the night and darkness:
Have patience - Night photography can be frustrating when your images do not come out the way you have hoped.
I have found the best practice for night photography is LOTS OF PRACTICE. With practice digital photography is easiest because you are able to take a lot of pictures, with no cost, and you are able to see the outcome right away! This will let you see if you need to change the settings to get the right look for your pictures. As you get better and better using this technique, if you wish to take film pictures in the night, it will be easier for you as you will get used to the settings that turned out great using a digital camera.
