Low light photography is probably one of my favorite genres of photography. It has so many possibilities and you can really get something special that the eye doesn’t always notice. One easy way to try out low light photography is with the upcoming 4th of July holiday for those here in the U.S.
The camera is going to record any light source you have, so the bright lights of a fireworks display or something like this sparkler above is good place to start. The only light source in the photo above is the sparkler, but notice it also is enough to light up the subject as well.
This week I am going to try to highlight several more low light images for the image of the day post. You can also see these on my low light gallery. What is your favorite type of image? Landscape, nature, people?
