Quiet streets are harder than busy ones

A Tokyo street at night. There's no decisive moment here, just warm light and a bicycle and a long empty stretch of road. That's the kind of picture I can never manage: where almost nothing's happening, and you still want to stay.

Tokyo after the last train is a completely different city. I'd happily spend a month on it.

@theo_marsh

This looks like the opening shot of a film I'd like to see.

@wren_holloway

How do you handle the exposure at night without losing those lights?

@beatriz_m

Underexpose and trust your highlights. The shadows can stay dark. They're supposed to.

Have something to add?
