When I was visiting Brussels last weekend, I made a series of nocturnal images of the city and its transport. Below are a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a>
Brussels Central Station<\/a> is largely below street level. Access to the platforms is via this modern ground level building. I exposed this image on the evening of March 22, 2013 using my Lumix<\/a> LX3 set at ISO<\/a> 80 in \u2018A\u2019 (aperture) mode with a +2\/3 exposure over-ride (to compensate for the night sky and highlights from streetlights). The final exposure was f2.8 at 1 1\/3 seconds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Tram<\/a>
Sometimes it\u2019s best to take an opportunistic approach to urban photography. I made this grab-shot with my Canon EOS 7D<\/a> (fitted 28-135mm lens set at 5000 ISO) from the front seat of a Citroen Picasso paused at a set of traffic lights. Panning the tram using slow shutter speed minimizes the visual defects caused by shooting through a car window. The combination of twilight, streetlights, and motion make for a surrealistic image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"A<\/a>
A Brussels PCC tram glides along at dusk on March 24, 2013. Exposed with a Canon EOS 7D fitted with 28-135mm, set at ISO 5000 f3.5 1\/30 second.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
