  • You might notice a bias towards urban landscapes in this list of incredible images taken at night, but I assure you this is for good reason: light in cities, provided by signs, buildings, street lighting and traffic, makes for truly exquisite nighttime photography.

    By contrast, natural landscapes by night are, well, very dark, and difficult to capture in all their glory. The exception to this rule, as you’ll see, comes when natural light displays like forest fires and auroras play a role.

    Whether you prefer urban or natural landscapes, I’m confident that you’ll be greatly inspired by the collection stunning images that we explore below. Hopefully they’ll furnish you with great new ideas to use in your own photography and design work.

      As expected, I guess some Bangkok night pic will make it on this list :D

      Great list!

      A wonderful collection! The 1st New York image is very Gothem-esque. My personal favorite of the series is of Shinjuku.
      Thanks for sharing.

      These are some amazing photos. Some of them are a bit of an eye sore though simply because they are manipulated to the point of being almost completely synthetic. Still a great collection though, thanks for posting it!

      A few nice shots, but the HDR stuff man, give it up, it burns my eyes !

      There are some very impressive photographs in this post. Quite a few give the impression that the city is almost a living thing.
