Photography has been my hobby for over ten years now. Somehow, I mostly find myself outdoors with the camera during the dark hours, be it late evening, very early morning, or actual night.
Not that I fear the daylight or turn into a bat, but the night is an especially mysterious time for me. Everyone else is asleep, animals rustle in the forest, and all that is unattractive is veiled in darkness.
These nocturnal journeys could even be considered a peculiar therapy. Set up the camera, take a sip of coffee, and enjoy. Sometimes it's cold, sometimes feet get wet, or the flashlight battery runs out, and sometimes you get stuck in a snowdrift with the car – what an adventure!
