A Walk on the Night Mall Photo

Photographer’s Note

Like most places on the planet the establishment is trying as hard as they can to turn everyone into thoughtless buying automatons. South Korea is not different; no matter the night I never saw this area deserted or even lighter in traffic, the exception was a couple of holidays where they all travel to their homes. This was in the early evening but other than the drunks wandering the street it could easily have been 2AM.

HI GREG

Despite it being dark out you have captured all the brightly lit signs. I can almost feel the bustle of the market. The people are shot naturally; no posing here.

Thanks for sharing

Hello Greg,
From the pedestrians we can see that this is somewhere in Asia, but shopping streets in large cities tend to look more or less the same, regardless of the geography. Even Tirana, Albania, partly looks like this nowadays!
But you have captured the hustle and bustle very well with impressively good light and sharpness.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Greg
good daily life (night life?) shot. I agree with you, all around the world is the same...and we buy...we buy...at any time of the day and night.
Well seen, well thought.
Have a nice day!

Hi Greg,
Excellent job of handling this difficult nighttime lighting.
The colors are lively and true to go along with the excellent focus.
Love the small army of female shoppers.
Regards, Tom

Hello Greg,

Hello Greg,

Your night scene is nicely sharp and no evidence of noise which can sometimes happen with my D200.
What I like most has been your abilty to capture the vibrance of the area. I think your inclusion of the merchandise as well as the shoppers and shops was a good idea.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Greg,

A night's shot full of life. Full of light too with the lements which arise very well in the black of the night. Image rich in colors and details well collected too.
Best regards,
Roger

An incredibly clear photo for being shot at night!
not easy to select a coherent scene with such a crowd but actually you managed to achieve it quite well.
The focus is on those two girls at the center and all the rest seems like a crown to them. An intriguing scene! Superb light management and DOF.

Ciao,
Donato

Hi Greg
Correct - we are being continually bombarded with products which are not essential for living. A busy image and a busy street scene. Your thoughts are well captured. Tfs, Marlene

Hello Greg,

And what are the cute young girls doing out this late hahaha!
A fine night time capture, showing a street scene buzzing with life, light and merchandise...
Well framed, good details!

Very good night picture, very sharp without motion signs. I could almost hear the noisy street.

Hello,

Nice night street shot. There was a lot of light to get this camera setting at 400iso. The result is clean with a low level of noise making the photo smart to look.
The photo has a good readibility with the direct look of the 2 girls in foreground giving a kind of anchor in the composition.

Yves.
