Night Vision

I'm invisible at night

My meeting with the mystery company ended just in time for the rush hour in the city today, so I decided to walk half of the journey home because I truly detest the rush hour on London Underground.

Since I always have a camera with me, I decided to do some night time photography. The thing is, it wasn't really night, it had just gone past 5pm, but since we're in winter now, the sun sets very early and everything goes dark by 5pm - especially on a cloudy day like today was.

One awesome thing about night photography in winter is, all the windows are illuminated. You get a unique view of people at work, in cafés and restaurants, e.t.c., that you wouldn't normally get in day time or on summer nights. You can pretty much walk all the way to the window and take a photo, while being virtually invisible to your subjects. That's a kind of holy grail scenario for street photographers - the ability to capture a scene without disturbing it.

I'm quite a large person, so I'm not as "invisible" as other people doing street photography. I have to move more slowly and be a bit more patient to get the same photos some other - not so physically present - people would get without much bother.

Winter evenings are perfect for me since I can disappear like others do and just capture undisturbed scenes.
