Description
This workshop explores neon‑lit streets at night and shows how to turn visual chaos into cinematic order. You will learn when to use long exposure to paint light trails and when to keep shutters faster for crisp gestures. We compare tripod, monopod, and handheld stabilization so you can move quickly without losing sharpness. We demonstrate panning with scooters, buses, and pedestrians to inject speed into static blocks. You will master balancing ambient neon with subtle fill from pocket LEDs for consistent skin tones. Reflections from puddles, glass, and polished stone are used to layer depth and color separation. We build exposure brackets that preserve highlight signage while holding midtone detail in crowds. You will use selective dehaze and glow to preserve atmosphere without plastic halos. Noise control strategies keep ISO high but texture pleasing for large prints and billboards. Finally, we assemble sequences that shift from establishing wide frames to tight emotive details. Your final gallery will feel like a night walk with narrative intent, ready for promo campaigns.
