The light falling on a scene always has a predominant colour, such as yellow in the case of the sun, or an orangey hue in the case of tungsten bulbs, blue in the case of a cloudy sky or green in the presence of neon lighting.

Given that your camera's light sensor reduces the dominant brightness in the scene to a "middle grey", how can you tell your camera that the subject is darker or lighter?

All digital cameras have a built-in light meter or "exposure meter".

You will end up with a picture that is too bright when the exposure reading is taken from a subject that is darker than middle grey. To compensate for this, simply correct the exposure while taking the picture.

Whether you are shooting in urban or rural settings or elsewhere, night time photography always has something magical to offer!
