You will probably spend most of this time a sleep...

...but its one of the most interesting times to be outside with your camera. Everything changes at night. Buildings can act as silhouettes or reflect ambient lighting to stand out in a way they can't during the day. It is photography that takes imagination, to use the natural light available to produce well lit images.

Nighttime photography can be great fun, long shutter speeds leaving light trails or multiple flashes giving many ghostly images across the picture. You can choose the prefence for lighting of various objects by balancing the use of flash, aperture and shutter settings. Its also a great time to get a unique photo without people in who might be around during the day.
