Night's warm embrace
Night photography is one of my favourite areas. Owing to the 23:00 curfew we had during the pandemic, night photography was in practice impossible for me since I usually leave home between 10 ~ 11 pm and return between 1 ~ 2 am.
With its high ISO and little noise, the Sony A7 seems to have been designed thinking of night photography. At ISO 6400 one can use shutter speeds 1/60 to 1/250 with apertures f/4 to f/5.6. I imagine, and I am still to try it, that in camera image stabilisation will allow the use of 1600 ISO, which is very likely to produce even better images.
I find night photography with (b&w) film much more challenging, but the results very rewarding.
