Chongqing Fog: a light trail portrait AI photoshoot
Chongqing Fog is a light trail portrait made on a footbridge in a foggy, many-layered city. A two-second exposure stretches the passing monorail into one bright streak, while red lanterns glow through the haze and the figure holds perfectly sharp.

About the light trail look
The camera sits on a tripod with a 24 mm lens stopped to f/8, wide enough to show towers stacked into the mist. Two seconds is long enough for a train crossing through a building to become a continuous band of light. Fog flattens the background into pale grey layers. Warm street lamps and red lanterns supply the only strong color.
Clothes, place and when to pick it
Clothes are built for weather: an oversized charcoal cape-parka with a huge hood, a utility vest full of pockets, wide cargo trousers and chunky trail boots. haloshot keeps your face clean at the center of the long exposure. It fits a moody portfolio cover, an album image or a wide website header.
