When I think of taking photos and of capturing moments, my mind immediately flicks to moments with the most colour because colour always brings feelings of happiness and of adventures. Colours can also mean the moment when you see the most beautiful sunset.
Rarely do I think of the moments that happen after sunset as I guess that’s probably when I put my camera away. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t beauty to be seen by night.

Which sights have you seen by night?

Looks really amazing
Thank you! 🙂
Which camera do you use? I love all these pictures! I find it hard to take pictures at night because my camera doesnt respond well to low light. But I was recently in a bonfire and managed to snap a pic for instagram 🙂
Thanks so much! These were taken either on my ancient DSLR (it’s coming up ten year!) with lots of patience for the low light, or on my Sony DSCRX100, which is seriously amazing in low light, the best camera I’ve used for it. I love it!! 😀
I was just at Sky Garden last week for brunch! Such a cool setting. Great photos!
It’s great, isn’t it? I have been during the day and night, and loved both! Such a fun place to visit 🙂
sky garden looks fabolous in the dark!:)
It’s beautiful at night (and in the day!) Such a great, free place in London!! 😀
Beautiful night photography! It’s hard to pick a favorite – and I can’t pick only one – but the Millenium Centre and London by night from Sky Garden would be my picks!
Thanks so much, Karen! 🙂 London by night is always one of my favourites!
Lovely pics – I think my favourite is the ice skating one 🙂 I really struggle with night photography, even with my DSLR. Do you use a tripod? Thanks for sharing more of your fab photos.
Thanks so much! 🙂 I find it tricky with my DSLR too but the ones that were taken with it were taken with a lot of patience and no tripod. Others were taken on my Sony DSCRX100 which is just the most amazing camera in low light, it’s great! 😀
Wow thanks – I’ll look into that camera 🙂
I couldn’t recommend it enough! 🙂
Beautiful shots, Marcella! I always get so intimidated by the night photography as it takes more sophisticated camera skills which I am so unaware of. Tokyo’s neon-drenched streets at nighttime are a sight to behold though! 🙂 xoxo, nano
Thank you, Nano! 🙂 I can bet that Tokyo is an amazing place to be at night, and I totally know what you mean about night shots – these are lucky ones as I’m not sure how to use the settings for dark either 🙂
What a creative theme! I rarely take pictures at night too, because I don’t really use the night setting well on my camera. But I do have some night pictures of cities and buildings all lit up. You’re making me want to dig mine out! I love the picture of the Skygarden and the city of London beyond its windows!
Thanks, Anna! You should definitely do a night themed post with your shots 🙂 The Skygarden at night really was amazing, it felt so magical.
Gorgeous photos! There is something so beautiful about darkness – especially while framed by photos and such, it’s so mysterious, concealing so much.x
What lovely words – you are so right! The darkness hides so much, and that can be a thing of real beauty 🙂
lovely post, it made my day brighter 🙂
Thanks so much for your sweetest comment!
