What is Nocturne Photography?

As defined in the dictionary, nocturne has two meanings:
(i) a painting of a night scene;
(ii) an instrumental composition of a pensive, dreamy mood, especially one for the piano.

The word photography comes from two ancient Greek words: photo, for "light," and graph, for "drawing." "Drawing with light" is a way of describing photography. When a photograph is made, light or some other form of radiant energy, such as X-rays, is used to record a picture of an object or scene on a light-sensitive surface.

Therefore Nocturne Photography is all about light-painting/drawing of a night scene.
