The previous night (5th May 2023, Friday), I made an effort to roam around after work. I came across this worn-out building and noticed the beautiful ambient lighting in the nautical twilight hour. I didn't have my digital camera and tripod with me, as it was an impromptu. The best camera is the one that I carry with me every single day i.e. my phone camera.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, I have not been doing any night photography for my <b><i><a href="https://martinliew.zenfolio.com/p855249317" target="_blank">NOT QUITE NIGHT</a></i></b> a.k.a. NQN project for more than a year (the entire 2022 was an unproductive year). So, consider this an NQN pre-workout for me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This night scene strongly attracted my attention. The ambient lighting, the beautiful texturized walls, and the white window frames, along with the casted shadows on the foreground. All these elements set a strong contrast between light and shadows. I intend to go back there with my proper gear and tripod. Also, to explore more around that area for interesting subjects and sceneries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_jMUTwI7FppZGXse5rx82rXZauuJqd6nmaiKvZPYXjmB-OYkYg6Ap62rQmVlRDxmoD1tMHjViOxSm2I6begbXPOCvYYACMb-bOmYcZBBc7Oa7qRcG_46nMuSIw_80d9YSbtOzB4rZogpQbUK9KPlHgT8-ld5NxKbtsaRRZUzGEJJZzzwq/s3343/Adobe_20230505_221941.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3343" data-original-width="2508" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_jMUTwI7FppZGXse5rx82rXZauuJqd6nmaiKvZPYXjmB-OYkYg6Ap62rQmVlRDxmoD1tMHjViOxSm2I6begbXPOCvYYACMb-bOmYcZBBc7Oa7qRcG_46nMuSIw_80d9YSbtOzB4rZogpQbUK9KPlHgT8-ld5NxKbtsaRRZUzGEJJZzzwq/w300-h400/Adobe_20230505_221941.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">© 2023 Martin Liew Photography</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">A black & white version was made in Snapseed.

I was attracted by the water reflection of the bicycle and the surrounding ambient lighting. I was lucky to capture this man walking by the parked bicycle with his right hand holding a can of drink. Somehow his hand was frozen still and in focus sharp while his whole body was in motion blur. Coincidentally, the drink can seem like resting right on top of the bicycle's rear mount rack. Move the slider to reveal the close-up of his hand and the drink can, and you'll know what I have just described.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was so stoked when I was editing this photo in Photoshop. I believe I pre-focussed on the bicycle mount rack waiting for any subject to enter the scene. A few subjects walked by and I kept shooting and fumbling with the right shutter speed setting. I wasn't shooting in Burst mode but in Single-shot mode instead because my good old Nikon D70s' 3fps is pretty slow in spite of the super low light condition of the scene. I was shooting with the widest aperture of f/3.3 and a 1/4 second shutter speed at ISO 200. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In street photography, shooting either in Burst mode or in Single-shot mode requires the shooter to follow the momentum of the subject's body/gesture motion in order to capture that "decisive moment" as opposed to much anticipation. It's so true, especially in the latter mode. Shooting in Burst mode, the photographer simply selects the best shot amongst the many shots during the post-production, which at times can be a hit or miss. Well, it certainly works for daytime street shooting but for nighttime, depends on the camera technology and capabilities. Most of the latest models have super high ISO as high as 102,400, and burst rates of up to 20-30 frames per second (fps), and of course mounted with a fast lens, he/she can get many "good exposure" shots.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Personally, I have more success rates of shooting in Single-shot mode with my Nikon D70s. Despite its shortcomings, I'm still able to pull off some decent photos. Well, not every time in my street photography. Instinct and intuition play important parts as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So there you have it. Thank you for the time to read and view my new work. New photos will be posted next week. Meanwhile, take care, stay safe, and have a great weekend.

By the way, ICM stands for <b><i>Intentional Camera Movement</i></b>. It is an abstract style of shooting that has no rules – it all comes down to moving your camera over a long exposure to create an artistic or painting-like effect. I got interested and had my first attempt a couple of months ago. If you're keen to find out, I have written and posted a blog on my experience <a href="https://martinliewphotography.blogspot.com/2022/09/intentional-camera-movement-icm-street.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Back on track, the weather on that Sunday morning was awesome with warm sunlight and there were many visitors, be it strolling in the garden, jogging, doing yoga, or with family and friends gathering for picnics or dining at the restaurants, the Garden is a favorite place for nature lovers to relax.

Yes, I'm back. First and foremost, I hereby sincerely apologize to all my supportive readers for the long hiatus. Yeah, absent for 13 months without a single blog post until now. I have been on hiatus before, sadly. Honestly, I was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. I mean, I wasn't infected with the deadly virus but instead, it was the mentality part. I hardly go out at night to make photographs. Occasionally, I would go out in the day for some street shootings with a point-and-shoot film camera or a DSLR camera.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Picking up street photography again seems a lot harder but I have re-adapted and progressed and am slowly back on track. Lately, I got hooked up on an interesting shooting technique called <b>ICM</b> a.k.a. <b><i>Intentional Camera Movement</i></b> for creative and impressionistic effects. Then I got busy shooting and posting on the other photography blog site that I totally neglected this blog site. In case, any of you have missed out, click <a href="https://martinliewphotography.blogspot.com/2022/09/intentional-camera-movement-icm-street.html" target="_blank">here</a> for the ICM blog post.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A couple of weeks ago, three days before the local Indian Festival, <i>Deepavali</i>, I took the opportunity to head down to Little India for some night street shootings. I seldom make night photographs on Shutter Priority mode so it was time to do some crazy shootings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I admit there is nothing new about shooting night sceneries with a slow shutter speed. Good examples like light trails of vehicles and the panning technique that combines a slow shutter speed with camera motion to create a sense of speed around a moving object. We can definitely make use of this shooting technique for storytelling and emotions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, for tonight's blog, I'm showing these three photographs as a triptych for a good start, and more are coming soon. So stay tuned. For new readers, if you like my work do subscribe to my blog sites for new updates. Thank you all for your time and kind support. Good night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div id="mc_embed_signup" style="font-family: Verdana;"><form action="https://gmail.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=07640afd64e2cce733d6bf895&id=21f8647702" class="validate" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" method="post" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" novalidate="" target="_blank"><div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll"><h2><b><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: small;">Subscribe to my blog</span></b></h2><div class="mc-field-group"><label><b><span style="color: #073763;">Email Address</span></b> </label><input class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" name="EMAIL" type="email" value="" /></div><div class="clear" id="mce-responses"></div><!--real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups--><div aria-hidden="true" style="left: -5000px; position: absolute;"><input name="b_07640afd64e2cce733d6bf895_21f8647702" tabindex="-1" type="text" value="" /></div><div class="clear"><input class="button" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" name="subscribe" type="submit" value="Subscribe" /></div></div></form></div><script src="//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">(function($) {window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new Array();fnames[0]='EMAIL';ftypes[0]='email';fnames[1]='FNAME';ftypes[1]='text';fnames[2]='LNAME';ftypes[2]='text';fnames[3]='ADDRESS';ftypes[3]='address';fnames[4]='PHONE';ftypes[4]='phone';fnames[5]='BIRTHDAY';ftypes[5]='birthday';}(jQuery));var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script><!--End mc_embed_signup--><div style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Follow me on my </span><b style="font-family: Verdana;"><i><a href="http://instagram.com/mezzotint517" target="_blank">Instagram</a></i></b><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> and </span><a href="http://instagram.com/notquitenight" style="font-family: Verdana;" target="_blank"><b><i>NQN Instagram</i></b></a><div style="font-family: Verdana;">View more of my photography work on <a href="https://martinliew.zenfolio.com/" target="_blank"><b>my website</b></a>.</div></span></div>Martin Liewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01771903232999858993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29649803.post-83417335003990003292021-10-17T12:17:00.000+08:002021-10-17T12:17:29.269+08:00DITN series – Stadium West Entrance<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://martinliew.zenfolio.com/p281188775/ec86b3dc1" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigPDaHvo55m9yoA8E_VCcpa9gvH43pAr0CZOo86Pd2h0efI69mXjpwmZ5EE_yQsPlGsJblkixwFVqSuqEfLSYWFEJJC99G9djsKs5Eit5SCWXPmWKENDl_r8gobUMiXRfWOg2H/w400-h400/Stadium+West+Entrance-01_wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stadium West Entrance (right side)</span></i><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© 2007 Martin Liew Photography</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This was the West Entrance of the former Singapore National Stadium.

A manual strobe was fired from the camera right behind the pillar, out of sight and aiming at the clock. The area was really in very low light condition, hence the strobe light was necessary so as to show more details.</div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span>

What really attracted me to make this photograph was the ambiance of lighting in the background, hidden by the header board. The light hit the metallic gate and cast shadows on the foreground, along with the symmetrical arrangement of squarish light flooring. All elements fell into place and this photograph was made possible with my Shanghai TLR on a roll of Kodak TMAX 400. Only one frame was exposed for 10 minutes on Bulb mode at f/22. The negatives were developed and scanned for post-process in Adobe Photoshop.</div><br /><div><div id="mc_embed_signup"><form action="https://gmail.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=07640afd64e2cce733d6bf895&id=21f8647702" class="validate" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" method="post" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" novalidate="" target="_blank"><div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll"><h2><b><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: small;">Subscribe to my blog</span></b></h2><div class="mc-field-group"><label><b><span style="color: #073763;">Email Address</span></b> </label><input class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" name="EMAIL" type="email" value="" /></div><div class="clear" id="mce-responses"></div><!--real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups--><div aria-hidden="true" style="left: -5000px; position: absolute;"><input name="b_07640afd64e2cce733d6bf895_21f8647702" tabindex="-1" type="text" value="" /></div><div class="clear"><input class="button" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" name="subscribe" type="submit" value="Subscribe" /></div></div></form></div><script src="//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">(function($) {window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new Array();fnames[0]='EMAIL';ftypes[0]='email';fnames[1]='FNAME';ftypes[1]='text';fnames[2]='LNAME';ftypes[2]='text';fnames[3]='ADDRESS';ftypes[3]='address';fnames[4]='PHONE';ftypes[4]='phone';fnames[5]='BIRTHDAY';ftypes[5]='birthday';}(jQuery));var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script><!--End mc_embed_signup--><div><br /></div>Follow me on my <b><i><a href="http://instagram.com/mezzotint517" target="_blank">Instagram</a></i></b> and <a href="http://instagram.com/notquitenight" target="_blank"><b><i>NQN Instagram</i></b></a><div>View more of my photography work on <a href="https://martinliew.zenfolio.com/" target="_blank"><b>my website</b></a>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Martin Liewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01771903232999858993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29649803.post-44861154939819246472021-10-03T21:00:00.015+08:002021-10-03T21:00:00.213+08:00DITN series – Stadium Light Tower<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://martinliew.zenfolio.com/p281188775/ec208ab9b" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrb-IvuYHLxBN0g2fjFeKKNSIfXQX6jrdxfCsGKxQmY0h-CrWj0aFCUB5pSgOZiNEridBcqB1VfcnNfkw2xMjiNnoHVd1pjxT8Nb5uocVmVAJmpV6penQzsPAtPHygW921weQ/w400-h400/Stadium+Light+Tower_wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">One of the four floodlight towers at the former<br />Singapore National Stadium.</span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">© 2007 Martin liew Photography</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div id="mc_embed_signup"><form action="https://gmail.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=07640afd64e2cce733d6bf895&id=21f8647702" class="validate" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" method="post" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" novalidate="" target="_blank"><div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll"><h2><b><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: small;">Subscribe to my blog</span></b></h2>

It's Friday night and here are two new night street photos I'm going to share with you. This is a sequel to the last blog post of the same location same night scene but different human subjects and titles. In the last post, silhouettes were captured, for that mysterious and moody effect.</span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tonight's street photos featured human subjects walked by in the foreground of the alleyway. I made two versions - one with a Smartphone and the other with a DSLR camera respectively. The light level in this alleyway is pretty low and contrasty and posed a great challenge to capture moving subjects, especially with my 17 years old NIKON D70s. The highest ISO of this old camera is 1600 and I always shoot in Manual mode as I want to have controls on the exposures. Well, it's obvious I have really limited ISO along with a slow </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tamron 17-35mm</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> lens, I have to hold my breath and camera really well and steady, at a slow shutter speed between 1/15 to 1/30 second. Exposure Compensation was applied and set to +1 value.</span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As for the Smartphone camera, </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Apple iPhone 6 Plus camera back lens has an aperture of f/2.2. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">I used the Camera+ app in which I'm able to set the White Balance, ISO, and Shutter Speed. WB was set to Auto, ISO at 160, and shutter speed at 1/4 second. Comparing the two photos, they almost have similar results.</span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Which version do you prefer?

Tonight I'm sharing with you 2 new night street photos I made last Friday night. I was out in the street of Little India and came across this alleyway. So I thought it would be a nice spot to do "fishing". I took a few test shots for exposure and composition while waiting for the right subject to walk into the frame. Though it's not a busy alleyway with heavy human traffic however there are people walking by from time to time. I made as many photos as possible and these two photos stood out pretty strong, which I like it very much.</span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Which version do you prefer?
