I’ve said it before, but night photos are easily my favorite type to shoot. The long exposure reveals a lot of things that I don’t notice as I’m taking the picture. I guess it’s counterintuitive to the idea that good image quality depends on how closely something matches the real world. In night photos, you usually don’t want it to match what you see in real life. You want a brighter sky, visible clouds, and interesting colors.
If you want a no brainer recipe for interesting pictures, do long exposures during a snowy night with a fisheye. That night, all I was missing was a full moon. But hey.
