A Night at Qiaoting Whiskey Bar: Capturing Ambiance Through Photography
We spent a memorable evening at Qiaoting Whiskey Bar, enjoying the company of good friends and the bar's inviting ambiance. I brought along my trusty Sony A6700 camera, paired with a Sigma lens, to capture the essence of the night.
The bar's dim lighting and warm tones posed a challenge for accurately capturing the atmosphere, so I decided to take control of the white balance settings. By manually adjusting the white balance to 5500K, I aimed to achieve a neutral color temperature that would faithfully represent the scene as I perceived it. This adjustment helped to avoid any unwanted color casts and ensured that the photos reflected the true ambiance of the bar.
Throughout the evening, I took a series of photos, capturing the bar's interior, the carefully crafted cocktails, and the lively interactions among friends. The combination of the Sony A6700's capabilities and the Sigma lens's sharpness allowed me to capture detailed shots even in the challenging lighting conditions. The resulting photos not only serve as a visual record of the night but also evoke the warm and convivial atmosphere of Qiaoting Whiskey Bar.
