One of the main difficulties in night time photography is of course the lighting. If you don’t have it right the picture will not be vivid enough for your viewers to see. Artificial lighting can be used but within limitation. It’s better to capture nighttime photos with lighting that already exists whether it is a building lit up at night or a powerful full moon shining down on the ocean.

You won’t always get to take a good picture every night; there are many factors that play a role in how well the picture looks. These factors include the moon, clouds, weather, and where you are located. If there is not enough light to enter the lens when you snap your picture then the image will not look like it does when you decided to take the picture. It loses its personal definition. So the use of backlighting can either diminish the look for the photo or it can enhance it if done correctly.
