Inspired by the Urban Nocturnals of overshadowed, I set out on a cool Saturday night to capture the glow of uptown (downtown?) Charlotte long after the bankers had all gone home.

Notice the purple-ish glow on the structure in the second photo? That’s light from the electronic upcoming events/advertising video billboards on the outside of the Bobcats Arena. It was quite a sight to watch the different electronic colors splash the side of this structure during the 32 second exposure.
