Turin’s China nights

Shooting photos of Chinese restaurants ideograms made of light in Turin by night was an idea that came to my mind exploring the potential of my old and glorious SLR Canon EOS 300.
I started to understand the basic of night photography and the results you can see in the pictures below are not bad considering it was my first time going around in the city with a tripod in the middle of the night. I like to underline that we have a lot of Chinese restaurants in Turin, many people started their business more then twenty years ago but regretfully there is not any original Thai or Lao food.

After a review of those images I have to say that I want make more photo works similar to this one, actually Turin squares and monuments enlightened at night are literally amazing, especially when the night is just upon them.
