Nighttime Vertical Illumination: Each Grid is a Household

At night, the facade of a forty-story residential building faces the camera, filling the frame. Hundreds of windows are lit, but their brightness and color temperature vary—some are cool white fluorescent lights, some are warm yellow incandescent lights, some flicker with the blue light of a TV, and some are completely dark. The color and degree of openness of the curtains also vary. The entire wall thus becomes an irregular array of light points, with no two grids being the same. The wall itself is in darkness, only revealing the horizontal and vertical divisions of the tiles. No streetlights or signs are in the shot, only this one wall.
Avoid: Consistent window brightness, inclusion of architectural lighting or spotlights, showing the sky or ground, specific interior details drawn inside the windows.

夜晚,一棟四十層住宅大樓的立面正對鏡頭,佔滿畫面。數百個窗戶亮著,但亮度與色溫各不相同——有的是冷白的日光燈,有的是暖黃的鎢絲燈,有的是電視的藍光閃爍,有的全暗。窗簾的顏色與拉開的程度也各異。整面牆因此變成一片不規則的光點陣列,沒有任何兩格相同。牆面本身在暗處,只看得出磁磚的縱橫分割。沒有街燈或招牌入鏡,只有這一面牆。避免:窗戶亮度一致、加入建築照明或投射燈、拍到天空或地面、窗內畫出具體的室內細節。
