Photographing outdoors at night can provide you with unique shots that you obviously can't capture during the daytime. However, night photography comes with its own set of challenges that you should be prepared for. You'd usually be photographing at long exposures where camera steadiness becomes critically important, or using higher ISO settings where image noise becomes a significant consideration.

This post is a collection of free guides on the topic on night photography, with two guides on specific situations – photographing cityscapes and shooting the night sky (though you will need to go here if you specifically want to photograph the moon). If you've been looking to get started with night photography, these can be a great resource to help you begin.
