Evening and night photography
Discussion
Night photography isn't my strong point but I like to have a try every now and again. Would love to capture the milky way one day (or night lol).

That's HR image stacking I presume?
Handheld gives different results.
HR/HDR stacking is not something I do usually. I think the only image there where I tried it was the colourful Miami hotels image as I tried it as a ‘technique’ years ago, but I really don’t like the look. Won’t use it again.Handheld gives different results.
The rest of the images were all single exposure with a pocket camera such as an Sony RX100. They were either handheld or the camera was placed on a wall/fence to stop blue/shake for the images that were slightly longer exposures.

I have an RX100 (mark 1) which my shots are taken with, these little Sonys seem to manage low light surprisingly well (better than my previous Panasonic M4/3 camera with the kit lens), the DRO dynamic range optimisation works well, I've never felt the need to try the HDR (stacking) mode.
I’ve used the RX100 for years now. I had a Mk1 then a Mk3. They never ceased to amaze me at the way they could capture such clean, sharp images at night.Sadly I broke my RX100 Mk3 last year, but now have a Ricoh GRIII which is even better, surprisingly.

Mines well battered with use, been fixed twice (ribbon cable) myself, but I really value how easy it is to carry around and quick to use and I don't fret if its gets damp or dirt/sand as I've well had my moneys worth out of it.Sadly I broke my RX100 Mk3 last year, but now have a Ricoh GRIII which is even better, surprisingly.

I was the same. My RX travelled the word with me just stuffed in my pocket or bag. I wasn't too upset when I broke it because I had been all over the place with it and taken thousands of shots. It still sold as broken for decent money on eBay 
They always say the best camera is the one you have with you, which is why I only bother with pocket cameras these days. I found myself disinterested in using anything larger and sold all my full-frame mirrorless stuff. I just wasn't using it.
My images above of London were just taken while I was out and about for work etc. Just pull the camera out my coat pocket and take a snap. I always shoot RAW as well.
A decent shot from an RX100 or a Ricoh GRIII is easily good enough to have printed huge and hung on your living room wall.
Some great photos on here, I must try to get out over winter and take some. I had a go a few years back, unfortunately the Christmas lights in the local town aren't that impressive when photographed. I remember the evening I took this shot - I'd just lost the tripod adapter for the camera, so I had to take it while holding it on the top. Took months to get a replacement too. The shots over the rooftops were much more interesting, but all slightly blurred.
One with with the quite frankly amazing Fuji GFX (it was a loan camera!!) - dynamic range from a single shot just amazing, the fact that the clock is not blown out is just staggering
