Day to Night Photos

Day to Night Photos
// Gurney Journey

Unlike plein-air paintings, which take hours or even days to complete, photographs are usually the product of a fraction of a second.

An exception among photographers is Stephen Wilkes, who has documented a series of famous destinations in what he calls "Day to Night" photos.

Locking the camera in a fixed position, he takes photos over a period as long as 30 hours, the light shifting gradually from nighttime to daytime illumination. He then combines them later digitally. The effect works best in urban environments, where artificial light defines the nightscape.
