"yes...no...just time...no i dont know what your talking about."

The blue, the purple, the fog, in contrast with the red and yellow of the traffic light. Simply amazing.

Clarity is amazing, very hard to come by on this art site in a photograph, wide angle is also very futuristic.



Did you happen to use any ambient filters? I know of some tonal reds and blues, but the color here is just so very striking and vivid.


The city is most certainly alive!

Thank you!

I didn't use any filters. I changed the color temperature of the raw file, and moved the color balance a bit towards blue. That accounted for the color. A slight levels bump for contrast in PS and USM

I have to say, there was a strange feeling about the city. It was rather warm, for how cold it's been. Probably 50. Lots of people were out, sort of wandering around in the fog. I guess they were as mesmerized as I was. Fun time

I see, I have to say I ventured to this deviation from a friends favorite list, and didnt realize you use digital, I was thinking film.


I never worked with raw files, but I can see how you mean, especially if you are able to manipulate the white balance and etc. to achieve such full color.

I was there recently, Sunday actually, I wish I could have spent more time in the city, but I only went and saw Jacobs Field, cause it was right off the interstate.

and again, its a beautiful photograph of the night there.

Thank you That's very kind of you to say. Now I feel the pressure of trying to live up to that statement

Thanks I like traffic lights. I think they make the shot more of a streetscape, or a cityscape, rather than just architecture.
