This was taken during one of Beirut's infamous daily power cuts. The part... (American University of Beirut (AUB)) This was taken during one of Beirut's infamous daily power cuts. The part on the right is how things looked in real life. The part on the left I got by taking a shot at a 30sec long exposure (photo is also slightly edited to look sharper). It's magnificent how light sensitive cameras/lenses can be. You can see the girls rugby team huddled up waiting for the backup generator to start up. Initially I was aiming to get a couple of long exposure shots with people moving (which I actually ended up getting! Spectre people and zapping car lights can be seen on the road behind the field). Then suddenly the power went out...I kept on snapping! #livelovelebanon #livelovebeirut #liveloveaub #aub #beirut #lebanon
