Night City

)

Here's what you need to shoot a city at night.

First, you need the city itself. A fashion photographer needs models ‒ a city photographer needs a city. Ideally, a big one. The kind with plenty to capture. Plazas and avenues packed with cars and neon signs. A place with life and energy. The lights of the metropolis...

Then again, a small Moravian town works just fine too. Christmas decorations. A river. Especially a river. A river does a lot of heavy lifting. What would these shots be without that still water reflecting all those lights back at you?

You know there's a photography contest called #aroundtheworld where nobody walks away empty-handed?

So I'm throwing my first shot from this article into the ring. Will people like it? Who knows. But you won't find out unless you try.

Here's what I'm thinking though ‒ if you're reading this, grab a decent photo from your area, check out the contest rules, and submit it too. Let's surprise @bucipuci and flood his contest with tons of photos. Call it a Christmas gift, if you want.

So here's the link to the current round of #aroundtheworld again:

Díky za soutěžní fotografii i za propagaci ATW.

Nighttime cities always feel alive in their own way, and your photos really bring that out. The contest sounds fun too as it’s a great push to dig into old shots or head out and try something new.

Thanks for the comment.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm overdoing it a bit with the editing in the graphics program, but honestly, I think it works for this kind of photos.

There is indeed a bit of noise and too much blur, but these can only be noticed by people with an eye for it :)

I can always claim that it's the author's intention 😁

Já tedy nepoznám, jaká fotka upravovaná není a jaká je.

Záleží na tom? V případě forenzních důkazů asi ano, ale jinak ne.
Já považuju postprodukci za nedílnou součást tvorby, takže všechny moje fotky prochází nějakou větší nebo menší úpravou.
