I had an interest in night photography.  The equipment required, and the complexity of the techniques involved, however, seemed daunting.  I have trouble enough focusing my images in broad daylight. How one could take a sharp and well-exposed photograph at night was a total mystery.  I took a Night course from a wonderful instructor.  She opened a new world for me by teaching the technical skills to take long exposures.  She also encouraged the creativity needed to make night photography an artistic endeavor.  What had been a total mystery became total magic.  Night photography sort of requires that it be dark outside.  My greatest challenge doing night photography is that I go to bed early and, because I have a difficult time sleeping through the night, I can’t drag myself out of bed in the morning. Is it okay to admit this?
