You know what I like about nocturnal urban photos? that they are more passional than regular ones, I don't know, I like the detail, the solitude, the lights, and the concept? how to find the beauty in a place where beauty is the last thing you're going to find. You know, that place I got the picture from, is a place of "cantinas" and brothels, a place with an inherent "estigma" of perdición and dirt, although the photo looks clean and nice, and this was one of my first "run because we can't stay here for too long, and use it in manual you bastard!!! (that's Zeoneth screaming inside my head :D)."

Thanks for reading this, and for those who know how these pictures are taken, please reply and tell your experience, see you around.

    My only complaint is there's no people there... but from your description, sounds like you might want to avoid some of the people who normally would be there!

    Shooting at night is kind of like shooting after a snowstorm. Everything just looks better and much of the everyday ugliness is hidden by the darkness or the snow.

    Some folks call shooting after dark, vampire shooting:):

    Digital cameras make it great fun.

    I'm so nocturnal then, hehehe, we don't need light, no more photo etimological meaning for me, I only need... a 5D or a 1D Mark II, hahaha, damn you ISO.

    I love shooting at night it's fun to see what you can't see in the dark.
    Seems for me that it's only a winter time activity

    Looks great Fred, eerie and spiritual at the same time - the ghost church.
