The Night Café
June 30th, 2010 by Markus
I have not been in this café, just wandered by. But the situation was just perfect, the lens adequate for the light and my hands steady enough, and so I enjoy this image more and more. I have no idea yet how it will print, those night images are always a bit dangerous and need a fine balance between shadow details and a careful noise supression. I will see how the lab manages this, probably sending two versions and decide afterwards.

Markus, I love late evening/nighttime photos such as this with it’s rich dark tones and the warm lights from inside the café. A fine job in capturing it and I’d be interested on the success getting it to print form.
At least this digital version makes a very good impression. And yes, I am wondering, too, how prints would come out. The framing is perfect.
