MK's Spring 2021 Photo Contest Theme is: Night Photography!

 

ABOUT THE THEME:

Night Photography - For the nocturnal and long exposure lovers. Capturing night shots can pose a challenge for those who prefer natural sunlight to shoot, but it will be quite an exciting challenge! All submitted images must be taken AFTER the sun has gone down. Whether it's nature/landscapes brightened up by the starry sky, or urban cityscapes with the utmost light pollution, we want to see your skills (and patience) with a slow shutter!
