The Light At Night | Colour Magic

Shooting at night before I lose the glorious Blue Light from Sunset is important to me abs my visual expression.

I need that mixture of ambient light and light from buildings.

It’s no different using my strobes. I strive to get the different light sources playing together.

Once the ambient light from sunset has gone, that’s it, what’s left is just the man made artificial expression of light.

It is still possible to create interesting images - it just has a different vibe.

This project is teaching me to work with the Light - any light.

It’s a wonderful process and even though there are limits to what can be created with and during low light - it’s still possible to harness a few rays of light to create an interesting image.

Even during the day, when the light is at its optimum expression, I can still be problematic.

Camera technology has reached epic proportions of design and technology.

These machines are computers, capable of turning harsh daylight into subtle subdued expressions.

So, this project has turned me into a human light meter. Seeing, feeling and harnessing the direction, colour, gesture and quality of light.

“Let there be light”.

It was a good day.

Thanks for reading.
