Mall of Asia, a photo from Manila, NCR

Photographer's Note

Shot taken during my weekend mall trip with my family in SM Mall of Asia, one of the newest and biggest mall the Philippines has to offer.
I've read from another forum that usually, security guards of the mall disallows or reprimand people to shoot dslrs as the management feel that the photos will be used as a survey for potential attacks.
Don't know if its true or not but I am starting to love night shooting and this shot is something that I got to try specially with the advise that i got from steliosk to lower down the aperture opening for a better night capture.
No tripod, just a steady bag placed on a flat surface for support.

as what i was told, a tripod is a must for night captures. i seem to disagree with that as here, you well managed to capture this image so sharp without one. the details are well seen. and i never thought that globe "statue" turns purple at night, huh?

Hi Andrew,
You've positioned well the globe in the background to anchor your main scene ... well composed. Good lighting management with added dynamics of the vehicles light trail. I haven't been to this place but I heard it is huge. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hello Andrew,
The purple globe is well positioned, the streak of lights a highlight. A superb night scene. Got to check out this place next time. A belated happy new year! Danilo

Hello Andrew,
Very good night shot perfectly exposed. Well managed perspective by putting that globe as the foreground. Beautiful colors and I like the effect of the neon on this composition.
Best regards,
Jusni

Good night shot Andrew, the composition is nice having the ball in one corner, the road leading to the opposite side, and the city in the bg.
Next time try to shoot duringthe blue hour, the results are muhc better than at night.
Well done
Jorge
