Can you photograph both day and night in a single photograph?
At dusk, the day slowly slips away into the shadows. It's still a little like daytime of course, because the sky is still bright enough to witness the beauty of creation. Yet it's also already nighttime because every minute is now darker than the last, dragging our spirits along with it, until the night consumes us all. And if you brought your camera along for such a moment, when day turns into night, yes it's possible to catch them both in a single photograph, while locked in a momentous tug-o-war, until one is completely vanquished, even if just for a little while. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: Don't stop shooting just because the fading light and color. The wavelengths of light at the tail-end of dusk can wildly surprise: from simmering crimsons, to dashes of violet, and finally a stately purple. See one soon.)
