Our trip to Times Square New York, was a new and interesting experience because most photos taken in our class was either indoors or in broad daylight. We went at night in order to capture the essence of light in darkness and how we could can be bring it to life. Walking around at night, I noticed New York was as lively as it would be in day time; busy streets, sidewalks filled with people– but what stood out most were the lights. With the lights brightening up the city, I was able to capture things that most people wouldn't normally notice– the light bulbs above them– the color, pattern, shape, and and intensity. What was invisible to everyone was the streaks of lights from the cars. By prolonging the shutter speed, the camera allows to blur the image. What I did was set my camera on a steady platform and set a timer of 10 seconds while, pointed at a busy street while thew cars move across. The only the the camera captures is the light and how it moves with the car while darkening the surroundings.
