Why is February great for night shots?

27 February 2017

Often with Commercial property it can be an interesting photo to show the premises at night. In addition it may be advantageous to show the shops with plenty of passing footfall and of course the shops should look open rather than closed up! In the summer months, with the long light evenings, by the time it is 'dark enough' to get the desired effect the customers have long since gone home and the shops are closed up and shuttered. So with the client particularly wanting a) a night shot, b) plenty of people and c) the shops lit up, the short days and early lighting up times of February become an advantage not a disadvantage. There is one disadvantage however.......the poor photographer is stood outside in minus temperatures waiting for that right moment............. It wouldn't be fun if it was easy!
