Rotterdam: Before sunrise


Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

The view after sunset and before sunrise have combination of many elements which are complicated for human eyes as well as cameras. Combination of natural lights of the sky and the neon lights creating special effects to the landscape. With a right blends and techniques, we can create beautiful and stunning effects for photography.   

The following photographs were shot before sunrise during my stay in Rotterdam. The reflection of wet surfaces (after-rain effects) added some dramatic effects to the photographs. 

Photo 3 and 4 showing difference results of exposure. Photo 3 was taken with 1/5 second exposure while Photo 4 was taken with 6 seconds exposure. Notice the starry effects of the street lighting and light trails in Photo 4 as compared to Photo 3. 

Please enjoy the photo...




Exposure 1/5 seconds.
