Melaka by Night: Flashy Flashing Trishaws + my favorite wall

Flashing neon lights and loud dance music thumping. No, this is not a club in Melaka. It is a trishaw!

OK I know this gaudy bicycle is such a tourist trap type of transport, but still.. I was intrigued and did end up riding one.

These bikes also provided good practice for me to take night photos and photos of moving lights, and flashing lights. Unfortunately, I have not taken any classes on night photography so again I was challenged. Let me know if you have any tips for night photography, or photographing moving lights!

I tried taking photos of both still and moving trishaws. With the still shots, I practiced different shutter speeds to get different amounts of brightness for the lights. With the moving shots, I tried to get photos that had more of that “blurry” moving look (yes I did that on purpose!). OK these shots are super amateur but I hope you enjoy!
