This is the first picture (possibly the only one I’ll upload here) I took after I got to Kolkata for an exam. The hydrogen lamp white balance is a good thing and I’d been trying to use it for quite some time. But this was probably the right moment. The contrast between the well lit and the not so well lit areas came up beautifully. The only drawback – the camera’s not an SLR and with the low light intensity, the shutter speed went to as long as a second which turned the man walking in the middle to a blur.

Thank you everyone..
amazing compo , light and colors , great work i love the atmosphere !
wonderful capture! the blur has added to the mystery…!
Very mysterious and brooding – can you alter the ISO on your camera ?
@danou @magiceye Thanks guys..
@AYearInMyGarden I can actually, but upto 400, the shutter was still 1 sec. And going above that would only make it grainy. So I stuck with 100..
amazing atmosphere and mood thanks to the warm colours and the great light! if you hadn't pointed out the man i wouldn't even have noticed him! so, no harm done … ;-))
It makes me thinkto the song
a whiter shade of pale
Bien à toi !
A picture perfect night. The truth is that I love night photography. I find it very warm and mysterious. A beautiful image that powerfully attracts the eye. Best regards, Adela
I like the lights and the mood

An interesting effect caused by the varying color of the light. The whiter light looks more "normal" to our eyes. Having recently spent two weeks in Hong Kong, I found a lot of florescent lighting which gave a green hue to images. Thank goodness for raw files.
I really like the rust colors in this night shot.
Very nice composition. I like the colours contrast!
une ruelle sombre à l'ambiance intimiste.
I saw your question on my husbands blog http://www.mijou.com about the "blood". We used a fake-blood-energy-drink from http://www.coolstuff.se. You can see more pics here.

Really like the reddish tones in this excellent night shot. Like the mood you captured with the lighting. Great image!
Very mysterious and almost otherworldly. Clever use of the dark tress to frame the view. Very cool shot!

A fine street scene with excellent light control. The shot has a very attractive mood about it. Well done.
