Sofia has asked us to show images taken in low light. I love low light, virtually never use flash, so this prompt is ideal for me! Most are taken handheld, wide aperture, highish ISO
So here are a few examples. First, an image I took at night in Warsaw old town:
Here’s one I spotted at night in Krakow, as our bus drew level with a tram. A lone rider, from what I could see:
Some years ago I was on a trip along the river Douro. At one stop I took this image – a beam of daylight spilled through an open door leading to an ancient cloister, illuminating a person who walked into the shadows of the interior:
Now for a bit of colour…dawn light, as seen on a trip to France in the Bordeaux region some years ago:
Indoors, in low light. I was sitting in my front room, and noticed how the changing light fell on a vase of flowers….mostly shadow, but a brightly illuminated area at the front:

Ohh, I really love the first and the third one, and I rarely like b&w. Just gorgeous.
Thank you, Manja!
and you’re so good at it 🙂
Thanks, Becky !
Totally agree.
😊😊
Love these. Lowlight photography is so often dramatic and evocative. One thing that phone cameras are not so good at and where an SLR can make all the difference.
Yes, you need to control the exposure!
Yup, that’s the key to getting the shot.
😊😊
I’m sure you have loads of images for this, Sue. Nice variety. The flowers look wonderful in that light and the whole world loves a sunset.
Thanks, Jo…..but it was a sunrise!
Them too! 🤣🤣💟
😊
Sue, you are so good at low lighting. I adore your eye for it 😀
Thank you, Cee!
Beautiful, beautiful, Sue! I knew this would suit you perfectly – my favourite? Warsaw, and the cloister – and your delicious vase of course…
Thank you!
These are lovely, and so atmospheric. A challenge with your name on it!
Thanks, Margaret!!😊
Beautiful low light images, Sue! Love the B&W especially.
The cloister shot is brilliant. You are good at low light.
Many thanks, Jude! A lifetime of using manual exposure helped!
So beautiful, particularly the two figures in black and white.
Thank you, Anabel!
Fabulous selection Sue. You had me at the first photo 🙂
Yay! Thanks, Brian
I do like that first one, very atmospheric
I was pleased with that one….just happened to glance up a side street, and voila!
Those are usually the best photos, the ones that aren’t planned
Very much so, Alison!
I love the cloister one too.
Thanks, John!
Our black&white are exquisite, simply beautiful.
Thank you Sofia! Pleased you like them
Good choices, Sue. You B&W shots are always very atmospheric.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete!
Very skilled Sue, love the images of people caught in the shadows
Many thanks, Tina! I enjoy such low light captures
The man on the train is perfect as it captures some sense of isolation. Thanks.
Thank you!
Your first two are my faves simply because I wouldn’t have thought to take pictures where you were standing. Too often, I photograph places of note — cathedrals, monuments, etc. But what I really love is plain ol’ real life — in bright light or low light. Excellent.
Plain old real life indeed!!😊
Lovely exploration of light.
Thank you! Much appreciated
