Some years ago I took some pictures of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben at night with a clear sky and the sky came out black. I've attached two examples. They are not particularly good pictures, but they are quite good illustrations of technque. The first was taken long after sunset, and the sky is black. Any colour in the sky is electronic noise from the scan and is not present in the slide. (Yes this was pre-digital.) The second was taken just after sunset, and the sky has some colour. If you are really lucky you can get a lovely red sunset as the background. Sadly those are quite rare.
