The night photography assignment that scared me the most was light painting. Light painting is for creative people. I cringed when I saw the assignment on the syllabus the first day of class. As the weeks went by, I worked on other assignments to learn about light and color at night and got more […]
Photography 101: Interesting subjects at night
My photography instructor told me that shooting a photo at night is really no different than shooting a photo during the day. She’s right of course.

Photos: Nicaragua Sunsets
