I've become enthralled with night shooting, in particular for the specular quality of the light and the challenge of capturing a moment without a tripod. I will, as always, appreciate critiques and pointers to improve.

Did you break into an antique store at night?

Shhh...I hear this shop casts curses if they catch you

Interesting image. Does the chimp have a practical purpose, like as part of a bowl or jug?

This is an excellent question! I'll have to check in the shop during the day time- I think it was simply an ornament...possibly cursed.

Were you allowed in the shop? (Not shot through a storefront window)

Very nice. Hope to improve my night time shots.

No, the store closes around 16:30, this was at 22:00

and through curved storefront window glass- I've been impressed how often the extra layer of glass rarely impacts the shot, especially at night.

It would be cool to see some of your night shots ☺️.
