Hello, I’ve just come across your blog and I love your work. I’ve just started a night photography project at college and wondered if you had any tips or tricks I could use? Thanks x

Hell, I’m no photographer… just found out what to do through trial and error.

You need a stable surface or tripod – I use a gorilla pod, or any flat surface available. Use the camera on self-timer so that pressing the button won’t shake the camera. Shutter priority and open the exposure time right up. That’s all I do.

I take lots of pictures and experiment a lot too. I discard about 95% of what I take, and try different angles and settings, even different image aspect ratios.

Just keep playing, but be bold and don’t be impatient.

Best wishes

Bob
