Troy Paiva's color photos
While stumbling around the internet the other day I came across Troy Paiva's website. What interested me about his site was his fantastic colors in what seems to be night photography. At the time I was shooting night images for the first time and it was interesting to see how color changes at night. In Paiva's picture although there is a blue cast making the image cool there are also bright reds, yellows, greens, and other colors that pop. This is because instead of having our focus on the sky or the sunset our focus is on the raw colors of the objects. This is one of the great things I discovered while doing my own night photography. In taking the picture an objects background is no longer important becasue the background is often dark and uncontrollable. So instead the photographer must focus more on the actual object and the framing of it. Making sure that enough light is let in to give us color but not to much to blow out certain areas. I think that night photography is more technical then most other simply becasue you have to consider everything and make sure its perfect. Its not like day photography were you might come upon an image. You have to make the images with your camera.
