[Community Challenge 38] The Night Feeling

The Night Feeling

The Night Feeling is the thoughtful nostalgic emotion you feel when you walk/drive alone at night, or see a city skyline at dusk with the wind in your face.

The feeling you get when you’re feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can’t quite remember.

    Walking home at night after your day is over, carrying some last minute groceries for a quick dinner.
    The streets are already deserted and the cool summer night’s air adds that special scent that makes you feel so at peace…

    Prompt: A woman walking down a tree-lined boulevard along a canal, carrying a plastic white grocery bag, at a summer night, artificial lighting, peaceful atmosphere, shot on disposable camera --ar 3:2 --style raw

    This is such a nice challenge, I love the idea.

      I keep getting other ideas and inspiration for this one.

      Some extra's which don't count but I still want to share.

      I got reminded of the autumn elements in traditional Japanese poetry. The moon and reeds blowing in the wind are some of them.


      Prompt: An old man in kimono sitting on a straw mat, near a river bank with reeds softly bending to the breeze, the man is looking up at the full moon in admiration and contemplation, night time, serene atmosphere, panoramic composition, Meiji period photography --ar 3:2 --style raw --stylize 75

      Taking a shortcut through the forest at night. The snow crunching under your boots as your thoughts wander. The lights of your destination can be seen in the distance, but you still have some time left to yourself before you eventually arrive.

      Prompt: An empty path, leading down a forest trail, the lights of a small town can be seen beyond the forest’s edge in the distance, winter scene, night, serene atmosphere, Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens --ar 3:2 --style raw --stylize 75

        You’re welcome and thank you as well :)

        I wanted to go for a realistic touch because I can really relate with what you were describing. I love that Night Feeling.
