Light
There is no reason to put the camera away after the sun goes down.
In fact, you can usually get your best pictures then. You'll often
need exposures of 30 seconds or longer, however. Here are some
photos from Chapter XV of Travels with Samantha as examples...
Strictly after dark...
Fog/Mist
Canyonlands (Utah). At left,
note the unpleasant contrast
shortly before sunset. I could
have driven 200 miles to get
to a better spot relative to the
sun. But instead I just waited
until the sun had set and got
the image at right.
Arches National Park (Utah).
At left, before dark. At right,
after dark.
There isn't much to say here except make sure you have your tripod with you.
