Highlights

Prepare to take a variety of incredible images on our Hanoi by Night evening photography tour. Explore Hanoi’s most famous century-old night market, where you’ll learn techniques for night photography with exciting compositions. We’ll be rubbing shoulders with the locals in the brightly-lit market, traders, couriers and customers barging this way and that between the stalls. There’s a great deal to explore, with exotic fruit stalls, workers unloading trucks, and a fish and meat market with some very talkative traders down by the river. It all makes for a unique, evocative travel experience, offering a rich variety of nocturnal images.

Itinerary

  1. We begin with a comprehensive review of night photography settings, delving into light adjustments to enhance Old Quarter street scenes. We then look at long exposure shots, capturing the light-streams of traffic through the ancient city gate. Next, we cross the overpass to venture towards Long Bien market, weaving through lively market traders and locals carrying produce. Beneath the bridge, stalls provide unique perspectives, while the main entrance offers opportunities for panning shots of loaded bikes and couriers.

    1 h

  2. Inside Long Bien market, we’ll focus on intimate relationship shots of local workers, utilizing special techniques to capture the action. Explore the fish market, working with different shutter speeds for dynamic scenes of workers sorting seafood. This is also a great spot for detail shots - of goods and traders’ tools, for example. We then venture towards the back of the market for candid portraits of couriers on their trucks. We conclude the night at a tea shop near the market, reviewing and selecting photos while sharing valuable feedback to elevate your photography skills.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.

The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.

Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
