How to shoot Twilight – Capturing Reflections

The wet days and nights that are common at this time of the year provide additional opportunities for night photography. Simply look down and seek out interesting reflections in wet pavements and puddles. If you’re lucky enough to have a body of water such as a lake in your shot you’ll find it easy to capture a perfect reflection of your subject.
