This is another example of recognizing image potential of conditions which require pre-visualization.

Night shooting really hones photographic skills which carry over to other less demanding circumstances. There is an art involved with balancing creative activities so as to maximize both artistic development and output quality.
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” - William A. Foster
