Lights On!


A silhouette of the stadium lights as they were coming on at Loftus Staidum in Tshwane/Pretoria. This was taken back in our trip to South Africa when they held the FIFA world cup there. I thought the lights coming on slowly would be an appropriate way to represent how some of our brains feel on Monday morning 🙂

      I was thinking of you when I posted it I swear… I was hoping it will do justice to such a beautiful place. There is something magical about Africa 🙂

    I was just taking photos of someone fixing stadium lights the other day. Imagine the process of changing all those light bulbs. 🙂
    Wonderful shot! I love the balance of the bright, fuzzy lights with the defined silhouette.

    You are really good at capturing light. I love the sense of serenity on this photo. Very good composition and calming colors.

    My brain would surely relax with that kind of view.

    Excellent silhouette! I think that silhouette, if used correctly, is a photo technique that can produce some really fantastic images. You certainly know just how to use the technique. This photo has everything a good photo should–vibrant color, a story, emotion, great composition. Really great job.
