To me the night is beautiful and the contrast between darkness and lights (ambient or celestrial) can be great for creating spectacular images. This groups primary focus is show the wonders that can be created in darkness or near sunrise and sunset. From City Scapes to star trails, from land scapes to anything you can think of as long as it is night. Due to the fact that they are done in total or near total darkness with long expousres light painting is even permissable here. I have set no limit to the amount of photos that can be added but if they are not night photos of anytype they will be deleted. The only rule I have on this group is I don't want to see photoshop creations. Using photoshop to create HDRs, adjustments of contrast and brightness, etc are permissable though. Please feel free to invite anyother photos that show the beauty and wonder of the night (the code is below).
