Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

    The sun was going down and the heat was lessening. The cool of the evening was setting in and that changed the feel of the whole atmosphere. I smiled as the cool evening breeze kissed my face delightfully. The sun was setting. My attention was grabbed by the loud speaker, announcing the next contestant. Squinting in the light, I turned my attention to the arena. With the setting sun lazily giving off its last rays, the perfect setting had arrived. I had been anxious to practice my photography--

    I was driving down highway 3 to do some filming of a terrible accident that required stars to airlift the injured to the hospital. On my way back I noticed this old car in a field amongst three other vehicles rusting away to a beautiful prairie sunset. The time I took to shoot this scenery helped me unwind from the terrible images I had just witnessed. Near Starbuck, Manitoba.This was taken using a Samsung cellphone and only the exposure was edited to bring out the vehicle's appearance.

    Now that I'm retired I have taken up photography as a hobby to explore the many things around us that we all take for granted. I recently purchased a Canon EOS R7 camera and a Canon RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM lens and was out at Lockport Mb photographing the American White Pelican and Ring Billed Gull. I was pleasantly surprised with the results as this was the first time I was trying out the Auto Focus Animal Tracking feature of the camera. I've just recently started trying my hand at photogr

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.

    As a Bulgarian myself I was visiting my country during the summer of 2024. Astrophotography is my favourite type of photography, so I joined one of the masterclasses organised by one of the world leading astrophotographers - Mihail Minkov. And this picture is the result.
