Night Landscape, Canon 40D, Ultra Wide Angle Canon Lens EF 16 35mm f2.8L II U

This post is a curated collection of night landscape photographs captured over many years and across multiple countries, all using the Canon EOS 40D and the legendary Canon EF 16–35mm f/2.8L II USM ultra-wide angle lens.

Ultra-wide lenses are especially powerful for night photography. They allow long exposures without star trailing, emphasize foreground structures, and capture dramatic cityscapes, bridges, coastlines, and night skies in a single frame.

These images were taken in a wide variety of environments — from urban Brooklyn and Manhattan to Iceland, Israel, the Galápagos, Puerto Rico, Yellowstone, Utah, and Grand Teton National Park. Together they show how the same camera and lens can produce striking results under very different night-sky and lighting conditions.

Rather than separating these photos by location, this post intentionally brings them together as a single night landscape photography portfolio, illustrating the versatility of ultra-wide lenses for nocturnal scenes.

All photographs in this collection were captured using long exposures and available light, without artificial sky replacement. They represent real night environments — from light-polluted cities to remote dark-sky locations — and document how night photography evolves across geography, weather, and time.
