Shannon’s Creative Photo Challenge: Nighttime
Welcome to Shannon’s Creative Photo Challenge!
Each Wednesday, I post a newly themed challenge. This week’s challenge is NIGHTTIME.
If you’d like to participate, all you have to do is post the title and link it to my page. You may also use the photo challenge picture.
1. Create a post titled “Shannon’s Creative Photo Challenge: Nighttime”.
2. Post the link to your blog in the comment section on my page.
3. Use a “Shannon’s Creative Photo Challenge” tag.
Most of us can agree that night shots are a challenge, and I can admittedly say that they are still difficult for me. Various camera settings, lighting, the use of tripods, and patience are key to taking great night shots. And of course, just when you think you’ve got a great shot, you take it home and see that it’s blurry. How frustrating, right?
I believe I took these photos of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse with a point and shoot camera. The thumbnails appeared “okay” but they were too grainy for me when viewed at full size.

The stairs of the lighthouse were lit at the bottom, but you can see the graininess towards the top where the light dissipates. The original was in color, but I put it to black and white to make the graininess more forgiving.

Since there was direct light here, this shot came out the clearest. I did not have a tripod so being very still was the only way to take these without creating a blur.

I shot this with my iPhone in Asheville, NC. Not the best quality, but I liked the way this looked.

Taken with a point and shoot camera at a bar in Chattanooga, the bar’s lighting helped to clarify this.

Taken with a point and shoot in Oahu during Christmas, I was in a moving vehicle (not driving! 😉 ). It’s not as crisp as I’d like it to be.

Beautiful nighttime photography. I really don’t do much nighttime photo work at all. A few Christmas but that is it.
