Challenge #19 - October 2008 - "Night Photography" is now open!
The Theme for this challenge is night photography. It is a photographic technique in which exposures are taken in- or outside between dusk and dawn. Photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light or long exposures. Things that might spring to mind are perhaps light trails; cityscapes at night; illuminated buildings... as long as they are shot between dusk and dawn let your imagination wander!
Here are some perhaps useful links for techniques that might help you achieve this month's goal:
