Digital Night Photography

Look for Bridges

SUMMARY: Bridges can be great photo subjects at nighttime.


 

When taking digital photos at night, consider shooting some pictures of bridges. Though perhaps banal during the daytime, many longer bridges, especially those in populous cities, are brightly lit at nighttime. Taken from afar, these subjects can add to dramatic photos, and since the bridge is lit, you may not have to use as long of a shutter speed duration as first expected.

For example, during Super Bowl XXXIX, downtown Jacksonville's many bridges were lit up with a variety of colors. This lighting added much to the cityscape photos that were shot before the event to help advertise the town.
