The Night Ride by Ann Arthur

The Night Ride captures the serene, illuminated beauty of Putrajaya, a city renowned for its striking architectural landmarks. During a nocturnal drive, the photographer was drawn to the elegant lines of a bridge, which stood out against the dark, quiet landscape. By utilizing a long exposure of 1/4 second at ISO 1600, the photographer successfully balanced the ambient light of the city with the stillness of the night. This image is award-worthy for its evocative atmosphere and the photographer’s ability to transform a simple evening commute into a compelling study of light, structure, and urban geometry.
