I came across this work by Latvian photographer Alnis Stakle recently and it got me thinking about urban night photography in general, and just how it's pretty much my favourite kind of photography. Not necessarily the flashy long-exposure photos of star (or car) trails or light writing (though they've got their place too), but the quieter sort of photographs like the above mentioned. I love photo-wandering at night, taking my time with a photograph with tripod and such; there's a meditative quality to it that can really come through in the resulting image. Sodium streetlight and moonlight can mix to create slightly off-kilter lighting conditions that give the scene a weird hyper-reality.
So anyway, I thought it might be instructive/informative/interesting to create this thread where examples of such photography could be shared, whether it be yr own work or that of another. And maybe help encourage me to head back out and do more, as it's been a while. I present one example of my own:
and this from Brassai's "Paris de Nuit":
Hopefully that will get the ball rolling! I'd like to see other's examples, particularly of Irish towns and cities at night, so please go ahead and share.
