Hanoi Old Quarter Night Photography

Hanoi Old Quarter at night is a collection of travel photographs taken during my trip to Hanoi in May 2010. All pictures were taken using my little Nikon D60 DSLR camera with an 18-105mm lens.

I must admit that the Old Quarter is one of the fascinating places of Vietnam worth exploring on foot as there is so much to see and do there.

As night photography is quite challenging, I did not bring my tripod on this trip, so I made do with anything I could use as support in taking these pictures.

To sum it up, I had a field day snapping photographs and here is a picture post of the Old Quarter in Hanoi at night. And I used my trusty Nikon D60 for this, as I prefer to travel light.

During my Hanoi trip, I stayed at the Impressive Hotel at Old Quarter, one of the most exciting boutique hotels I have experienced in my hotel stays.

If you plan to visit Vietnam or Hanoi, make sure you have some extra time to explore the Old Quarter of town during the day and at night as it is so different. 


One night would not be enough, so I recommend you spend at least two nights fully exploring Hanoi at night.

If you love travel photography, this is one of the places where you would have a great time testing your skills with some Hanoi Old Quarter night photography.
