I was at a bookstore yesterday, leafing through one photobook after another trying to learn something from the giants. It's a whole different kind of experience, holding a physical print in your hand, to the extent that you can almost touch the grains on the surface.
At the same time, I had a very 'normalizing' experience, in that in the film days, any noise you get on your shots was considered part of your work.
Now back to this shot. This is another one from the Hong Kong trip in the summer of 2011. Apart from the composition, there's not much to like, technique-wise. I basically let the camera decide how it wanted to capture the scene, which resulted in an extremely high ISO (for a 7D) while the shutter remained open for one quarter of a second.
I, however, decided to leave the noise produced in such a process. Now that I have been shooting for almost 2 years, I see a same image taken a while ago in a very different way (hence the title). What I mean is, some of the marvels that technology had allowed us may not always 'enhance' our photographic experience, either as a doer, or as a consumer.
