Ready for another round of creativity and fun photography challenge? For this week’s run of their 52-week Photo Challenge, the folks of SlickPic placed the spotlight on Low Light/Night Photography. In this challenge, your task is to create dramatic and atmospheric images out of scenes with minimal lighting. As they also noted, the genre requires careful consideration of camera settings, such as wider aperture, propping your camera on a tripod to ensure stability. You may even want to get extra creative and do some light painting!

They also advise shooting in RAW format for better post-processing flexibility. So, take advantage of tools such as Radiant Photo, Luminar Neo and Adobe Photoshop to fine-tune your snaps and give them an extra oomph.
