Night Pictures

Wait until the whole page loads, then move your mouse cursor over an image to see what lurks in the dark . . .

Night shooting techniques are covered in the Advanced, Police, and Military courses, as well as being the main topic of the Advanced Low Light course.

These pictures are from a portion of the Standards exercises (Advanced 3 Day Course), which is normally followed by a practical vehicle based night scenario that combines the Chapman fundamentals of Moving Quickly, Shooting Carefully, and Using Cover.

These pictures were taken with a digital camera, using no flash. They were digitally contrasted, to show the minor differences in the levels of "almost perfectly dark" to give a glimpse of what night vision devices would have been able to see.
