Topic: Night Time on the Sukhamvit

[charles binns]

A ribbon of neon lights, traffic, go go bars, restaurants and markets.  Lady boys, hawkers, beggars, tourists, prostitutes and office workers jostle and hustle their way through this river of tarmac, light and noise.  Intimidating, exciting, bewildering and bizarre, there's no other street on earth like the Sukhamvit.  Especially at night.

All shot with multiple exposures using a holga

These have a very unique but consistent look across the set. I'm interested in the technique you used - did you just try to hold the camera in the same spot and click away? Did you fire the shutter a set number of times, or did you adjust based on conditions?

Thank you. I try to hold the camera in the same spot and click away for a random number of times -between 10 and 20 times I'd say.  I don't want the image to become totally unrecognisable (though sometimes that happens) so if I shoot a street at night then I want the final image to show the form of the street (if that makes sense) albeit as an abstract.

Mmmhh, liking them, but my favourites are 4, 6, and 7.
