Monthly Assignment: Space and Night Photography

This Month's assignment covers two topics closely related, Space and Night Photography. We've seen much more activity and interest in Space/Night Photography lately. This assignment pushes the envelope in light management and balance in the exposure triangle. We've seen some excellent space and night shots already on the forum, let's see if we can take it to the next level! Happy shooting!

Assignments are designed to help you grow your photography skills and creativity, and have fun doing so. Assignments are to make all of us photographers think outside the box also.

The Rules
  1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken during the month specified in the assignment thread and taken by you! Because not all EXIFdata can be verified, we will use the honor system.
  2. Photos must be posted to the thread in order to be considered for the challenge. Links to photos will not be considered an entry.
  3. Only three photo entries per member, for each assignment, unless otherwise indicated.
  4. Assignments will be judged solely by the panel. Individual voting via post "likes" will be incorporated into the final selection of the winning photo.
  5. Judging criteria is based on the Twelve Elements of a Merit Image.
  6. The panel will select 5 shots to be displayed in the Monthly Challenge forum and homepage of the site.
There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Challenge, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the assignment. Edited/straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the assignment subject.

These just keep getting more exciting with each passing month. Going to definitely need the entire month for this one.

Yes, all Night Photography, not just space! Thanks Don!

For reference, we will define night as after 9:00 pm, I believe it is dark in most places by then.

MAybe December would have been a better month. Then you could shoot almost any time of day. Christmas day, sunrise 1:59PM, sunset 5:43PM. Lots of time for night photos.

That maybe the case in America but not here in Asia. Can we define night as after Sunset on our own hemisphere?
