I set out for downtown Redmond before sunrise (which isn’t until 7:55am this time of year in the Northwest!) to create some street photos in the dark. I hoped to leverage the mood and textures that appear in the dark and in the small pockets of light. I was gifted with an overnight rain storm that left puddles and lots of surfaces for reflections. After the sunrise, I was also gifted with the rainbow that followed an unexpected rain shower.
Visual inspiration for the day was provided in part by a Christmas gift from my wife: “Modern Color” by Fred Herzog. This collection of photos in Vancouver, British Columbia is full of amazing textures, moods and moments that reflect the changes seen from 1950’s to 1990’s. More information about the book, plus a link to support local bookstores, is here - Fred Herzog: Modern Color - bookshop.org/a/55882/97837757...
My camera gear for this low-light street photography excursion included the Fujifilm X-H2S along with the Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4 as my main lens for the morning. I also included the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 and Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4 for those hard to reach photos.
In addition to the photos in the video, the edited photos from the morning can be found here - www.flickr.com/photos/mwslade...
