Assignment 5 - A personal project
Thank you for visiting my assignment for OCA Level 1, Digital Photographic Practice.
Disappearing Light is a series of images, captured through a set period of time, in and around the city of Suzhou, in Jiangsu Province, P.R. of China.
Since the appearance of cheap, and easy-to-manipulate LED lights, more and more shops and restaurant owners have opted for the more modern plastic-sign look. Some of the larger restaurants, and hotels still keep these neon lights going, but it is kind of disappearing.
In this assignment, I captured a wide variety of aspects, in different styles, and processed these images to show the beauty in these lights.I aimed for a theme around tubular neon signs, with Chinese characters, in night and day.From a photography point of view, it turned out to be a not-so-easy subject to cover, due to the difficulties that go with extreme dynamic range as well as contrast in light and dark scenes.
