This shot didn’t start with the Batwing.

Originally, I planned to place Batman on the rooftop. But when I framed the scene, I realized the scale wouldn’t work — he would be too small, and the image would lose impact in a landscape composition. That’s when I switched to the Batwing instead.

The location itself was tricky. The buildings on both sides are not symmetrical, so getting a clean frame meant adjusting position very carefully to make everything feel balanced. At the same time, I had to avoid lens flare while shooting directly toward the light source, which is not easy on an iPhone in low light.

Technically, this was more challenging than it looks.

The original building lights were blue. It looked fine, but visually flat. During editing, I changed it to red to create stronger separation and tension in the image. Red carries more weight, but it also introduced a problem — banding.

That’s when I realized this should have been shot in RAW instead of HEIC. Blue tones were forgiving, but once pushed into red, the limitations of HEIC became visible.

This image is a combination of small decisions — composition, scale, color, and technical constraints — all working together to hold the frame.
