The Red Light District is usually chuck full of people. Afternoons, evenings and nights. Only the mornings are really ‘owned’ by the residents…while visitors execute their much-needed REM-sleep.
Understandably, with rain tourists on two feet flee into the nearest establishments and have a beer or two. That’s when I step out to have a stroll around the hood. On this particular night I walked through a light drizzle, intermissions of a few heavier drops, but no wind and a nice temperature. Anyhoo, a perfect moment to set the camera to ‘no flash’ and on a low shutter speed.
It’s a photo mood exercise, not a critique on people on bikes not having working lights. They are adults and I’m not with the police…or finger-wagging crowd. Just so you know. ‘Turn On The Red Light‘, just an obvious play on words.
