One of my most favorite times to shoot photos now is at night. I’m not sure exactly why, but I know one reason is the lights that come alive after sunset. These same lights have a color quality that you just don’t experience during the day. You get to enjoy them on-location as you shoot, but you really appreciate them after you come home and process your images. The oranges, greens, blues and others are so much more distinct against the night background and paint a picture that is hard to see with the eye alone.

This is a wider view of the Pedestrian Ring at Smith Street & 1500 Louisiana Street in downtown Houston. It a great place of converging lines and colors.
