I had a great time working on this night photography assignment. My best friend and I have always enjoyed exploring the city after hours and capturing its essence through nighttime photos. I have always felt that there's something magical about the city at night, it feels like a completely different world. This project was both fun and nostalgic, reminding me of all the nights we've spent wandering the beautiful spots the city has to offer.
The greatest challenge I faced during this assignment was with the long exposure and astrophotography shots. I had to take several retakes since capturing the stars without them appearing blurry was super tricky at times. However, my greatest success was being in the right place at the right time for my blue hour shot. I also had a few lucky moments during the assignment, like when the car passed by perfectly during my long exposure shot, creating a beautiful light trail to add to the photograph. Overall I think being in the right location at the right moment definitely played a key role in capturing some of these shots. I also had a lot of fun editing these pictures, I added cooler tones and a touch of grain to enhance the atmosphere and give the photos a more textured, vintage feel.
