    This is the first comment I've ever written on KZread and I've been on KZread since the beginning. I just had to tell you that this was a great video. I've been a commercial photographer for the last 15 years and I can say that while it's obvious you're considerably talented, you speak in a humble way and your content is accessible to both beginners and pros. Very well done bro!

    I agree.. I’ve been shooting for about 4 years and I’ve NEVER shot at night. Always in a studio setting but, the way he came across has me really paying attention.

    Excellent advice. I travel to Tokyo almost weekly and I stay on west coast USA time. That means I'm up at 1 am. Out the door I go for night photography in Roppongi and Akasaka. The place changes drastically at night and is super safe, clean, and there are many places to grab a bite to eat. It's perfect, really.

    I love shooting in the night, especially if it's wet, as you mentioned, because of the limited light and the reflections. But until now mostly using a tripod and long shutter speeds. So you can let people disappear if you want. I think I will try to catch some magic moments without a tripod next time. Thanks for your inspiring video, even there were not many technical tips, but these were fundamental.😊👍

    Eren. Thank you so much for another excellent post. I'm a London night hawk, chasing the light. After 3 years, I'm finally gathering a collection of interesting images. I sometimes use the WR 56mm f/1.2, difficult it is, but when I get it right the images are lovely. What you post drives me on. So, please keep posting and I'll keep watching.

    Just discovered this channel and I loved the points you mentioned. I normally try to shoot after work. I remember 2 times where I tried shooting but I had to go home directly since it was too cold to walk and I wasn’t properly dressed. It’s so true that if you don’t meet those basic needs first, you can’t even focus on your art. Thanks for the video, it was inspiring.

    Great video, thank you so much. Re safety: I once took my OM-5 with an anamorphic lens to get some cool lens flare shots. No bag, just a 61 year old guy with a nice camera at 3:00am. I got 3 blocks into my walk, when I ran back to my hotel like crazy, as 3 druggies really liked my camera. Scary at the time, but hell funny now.
