10 Night Photography Tutorials For You To Try

When it comes to night photography, ePHOTOzine has covered plenty of photographic suggestions, including light trails, buildings, fairgrounds and even spirograph photography. In this article, we list some of the most popular night photography tutorials we've posted on site and include some of the images taken to hopefully give you the inspiration to shoot some night-themed shots.

Gear Suggestions:

• Camera - Most cameras are capable of capturing good night time shots, however as you'll most likely be using long exposure times, you'll probably find a DSLR most useful.
• Tripod – You need a tripod (or some other form of support) to keep your camera still during the lengthier exposures. Working without one can result in shake spoiling your shot.
