Taking pictures at night can be challenging especially for beginners – you have to be really careful about settings (such as ISO and shutter speed) and you need a tripod in addition to your regular camera gear.
However, this shouldn't discourage you – night photography can stimulate your artistic expression and make you create amazing images. Even though we lose the sunlight at night, we gain countless sources of artificial light in various colors and intensity!
Check out the following 25 images, which are superb examples of night-time urban photography!
