Spoorpark by Night

Around 20:30, the park was almost empty, the air still, and the city quietly humming in the background. The scene was too dim for handheld photography — the light levels had dropped well below what 1/250 could handle. So, I set my Canon 5D Mark IV on the ground, attached the Sigma 24–70mm Art, and switched to a 6-second exposure at ISO 3200. A 10-second timer prevented any vibration from the shutter press.

In that brief span, photons from dozens of small light sources — streetlamps, strings of decorative bulbs, reflections off distant buildings — converged on the sensor, translating an invisible trickle of light into structured data.

Photography, in essence, is the science of collecting light, one moment at a time. This image is what those six seconds of light looked like, seen through the calm of Spoorpark at night.
