Taking street photos is very exciting. The biggest challenge is to take street photos during the night. This requires more experience, a more efficient camera that takes satisfactory photos at a high ISO and also a tripod … if you don’t have strong enough hands (as the photographer in the picture has). If you don’t have a tripod or hands strong enough to hold the camera in your hand (as is my case) then you need to find a compromise solution. Put the camera on the street, focus and press the sutter button. You can get satisfying photos.
Camera:Leica V-LUX (Typ 114)

Very interesting photo. Not every photo tells a story but those that do are clear if the photographer has taken the picture just the right way. I assume that in this photo the candles are being lit in memory of someone or some event
Any good photo should tell a story. If it fails to convey anything, then the photographer has definitely failed!?
Very nice photo. I love colorful city photos at night but it looks white and black also has its beauty.
The city under the night lights looks great, but the black and white photos add a mystery!
Lovely photo with the candles. I assume perhaps the photographer is taking a photo of his daughter holding the candle. A perfect night shot.
Thanks. It is not his daughter. She was one of the children on the street. He asked her to pose for this photo.
