Hanoi by Night

O Quan Chuong Gate. We begin with a comprehensive review of night photography settings, delving into light adjustments to enhance Old Quarter street scenes. We then look at long exposure shots, capturing the light-streams of traffic through the ancient city gate. Next, we cross the overpass to venture towards Long Bien market, weaving through lively market traders and locals carrying produce. Beneath the bridge, stalls provide unique perspectives, while the main entrance offers opportunities for panning shots of loaded bikes and couriers.

Long Bien Market. Inside Long Bien market, we’ll focus on intimate relationship shots of local workers, utilizing special techniques to capture the action. Explore the fish market, working with different shutter speeds for dynamic scenes of workers sorting seafood. This is also a great spot for detail shots - of goods and traders’ tools, for example. We then venture towards the back of the market for candid portraits of couriers on their trucks.We conclude the night at a tea shop near the market, reviewing and selecting photos while sharing valuable feedback to elevate your photography skills.
