Rooftop Pool Bar: Water, Skyline & Night

The hotel's rooftop pool and bar share the same platform: one end of the pool is designed with an overflowing horizontal edge, beyond which lies the city skyline. The bar faces the water with its back to the city, and seating is partly in the water and partly by the poolside. All lighting is kept low—the pool bottom lights are the main source, the bar only has indirect lighting beneath the counter, and there are no lights above eye level on the platform, allowing the distant city lights to remain the brightest element. People are scattered in small groups, not a full house. Shot during the fifteen minutes when the deep blue sky has just darkened and city lights have just come on, with water reflections and the skyline in the same frame. Avoid: adding bright spotlights to the platform, glass railings reflecting prominently, depicting the scene as a crowded party, the sky being completely black and losing its layers.

飯店頂樓的泳池與酒吧共用同一個平台:池的一端做成溢流的水平邊緣,越過邊緣看出去就是城市的天際線,吧檯背對城市、面向水面,座位一半在水裡、一半在池畔。照明全部壓低——池底的燈是主要光源,吧檯只有檯面下方的間接光,平台上沒有任何高於視線的燈具,好讓遠方的城市燈火保持是最亮的東西。人三三兩兩,不是滿場。深藍色的天空剛暗下來、城市燈剛亮起的那十幾分鐘拍攝,水面倒影與天際線同框。避免:平台加裝明亮的投射燈、玻璃欄杆反光搶戲、把場景畫成滿場派對、天空全黑失去層次。
