Flashes in the Dark: Low light Photography

Photographers put a lot of focus and emphasis on the lighting for their pictures. After all, lighting is a powerful instrument in setting the overall tone and feel of the piece. Even when there is very little light to work with. In fact, it is in these situations that the lighting can create extremely emotive and distinctive compositions for the pics.
Giving the shadows so much reign to run freely, carving interesting depths and crevaces into the pieces. This can also prove very tricky for photographers as some equipment does not work as well under these conditions, and cannot take sharp, clear photos without enough lighting. Though in some cases, as we can see in a select few below, this can also give the images more tone and texture that fits well with that particular composition.
Below is a brand new showcase of low light photography to help get our readers inspired. Enjoy!

Wonderful pics. I bet you need a powerful flash in dark to get these pics

Mostly you need a tripod. Very few, if any, of those pictures look like they involved a flash.

Some of these seem very average, like “SubWay” and HarizArt’s: no story, nothing interesting to see.

everyone can learn more but with experiments

Some stunning photos. What happened to the user submitted news that used to be on this site?

Not all pictures are great. Some of them are not masterpieces. But I liked few. ;-)

I like the mood in some of these; it seems the first is the only one with flash.
There is an amatuer feel about alot of them, intended or not, it’s not always a bad thing. experimenting, sharing and recieving constructive criticism can only help you to get better.
valves by shinius works for me, wouldn’t hurt from a bit more exposure but it’s fine.
Japanese Influenced Lanterns by Jordanart4peace – I really like this, it has a great mood for me.
long_exp-1000373.jpg by keroism – seems like a perfect exposure but i have no idea why the tripod was left to rest so close (but not quite) to the correct vantage point!!
Kathryn’s Portrait is well lit, if a bit over dramatic but it’s taste after all and the mood is there.
Sailors conduct a low-light, live fire exercise…by Official Navy Page – maybe just focus on the barrell explosion, the underexposed men really draw your eye when they shouldn’t
Brimming Alleyway by Jordanart4peace – I like this, for this type of photography this works really well.
A Jack toy by EidanNoon – I like this, great Depth of field.

Wow! Nice shots! Very good Photography Skills! I like how fresh the outcome of the pictures, it seems like it was taken by an amateur but it seems to good for an amateur. The picture was taken like it was unscripted.

Haha oh wow.. Thanks for featuring I guess… Never knew about this ’till I stumbled on it on Google.. That was taken with a rubbish compact camera but I liked it.. so thanks! ;) ..and no flash was used all I had was a light in the corner. :)
