Nightviews 夜景

Blue Hour, Temple Illuminations, Skylines

Milky Way, Lightpainting

​​

Nightfall transforms the impression of almost any place. What might be a grey, cloudy and one-dimensional scenery during the day may transform into a vivid, colourful, three-dimensional landscape at night.

​

Cities and skylines in electrical light and illuminated buildings and temples are just the obvious of what we think of when talking about nightviews, especially in Japan.

​

Mountains, lakes, even forests can transform themselves after blue hour. With only as much as a flashlight at hands, a photographer gets almost unlimited possibilities to create images.

While nightviews are not among my major subject, I do enjoy shooting at blue hour, visiting the one or other temple illumination, or, when back to Austria, try my luck at milky way photography.
