NYC After Dark

"The streets are clear, the sidewalks are empty, a million lights open the way to a world concealed by the light of day. Shooting at night has been a joy for me. I'd love to do more of it, and I'd love to share the experience with others who share my appreciation for the night (and my sleep schedule). The aim of this group is to organize get-togethers where we can explore at night and use photography to document the city at rest. We'll shoot using tripods, flashes, or whatever ambient light we come across on our wanderings. All skill levels are welcome, and everyone who has a desire to improve or meet new friends is encouraged to participate!" -Roy Hubbard, founder of NYC After Dark

Awesome night walk, well organized as always. I would have loved to shoot longer if I wouldn't have been so exhausted. :)
