Night shots can get boring kinda fast. You can add some fun by using different films and light sources.
Try a tungsten-balanced color transparency film, like Kodak Ektachrome 160T.
Tungsten shot at dusk and night will pick up the strange colors from sodium halide, florescent, light bulbs and other artificial light sources. It's gorgeous. You can bounce a light flash and get a metallic blue effect, the same effect if you shoot tungsten film in daylight.
Try some long exposures to get a nice saturation.
Shoot one roll for the sole purpose of cross processing. The tungsten film is a positive, C41. If you process the film in E6, you get an amazing shift to yellows and that weird color of pictures taken with Instamatic's in the 70's. |

| I think that night shots are quite boring with the exception of fireworks, which look beautiful in the night. |

| See if you can get traffic moving along the interstate or something. With the entire scene being more dark, there's less detail that people will be able to see, which means a more boring picture. You'll have to really spice them up. |
