A lighting study. I think there are some mismatched reflections, especially on the right. But, reflections, they can shift a little.

A primary focus for me was light diffusion into the sky and across areas of the bridge to give a sense of overall glow. Generally, taking some of the lighter colors and moving them out onto the sky and brightening areas of the structure with lights nearby.

I'm also keeping geographic features, like the beach surface, and defining them with reflections. Rather than just putting down the lights and darks. And defining with reflections is what light is anyway.

Still thinking of what else I can do with the channel. So far it's just these time-lapses. So, we'll see what I find out. Thanks for looking.
