these ideas speak so strangely...

Nocturnal Victoria Park during the Olympics.

Another night shot (kind of). Slightly separate from what I’ve posted recently like this. It’s a bit more of a snapshot, and I don’t think I’ll be able to go back and reshoot it on film.

Another shot from the new project. Again a night one.

So this is the first shot from a new idea I’m working on.

Some great city night shots from Martin Stavars.

When you take this kind of shot, you’ve got some creative choices open to you; kind of what Stavars has done here, you can expose the scene to achieve a similar level of light to what you’d expect from a daytime shot (most likely this is what your meter’s telling you to do), or you can expose 2-3 stops below this, which would give you a shot more representative of what you see with the naked eye.

There’s merit to both, but the former does give the pictures something a little different to them.
