Riordan's Desk

Bar from Shanghai 1930

Here's the photo from Chapter 10 of Runoff with quote:

"Blue lights shown from behind the wall, suffusing the many bottles of liquor on the chromium shelves with a bewitching glow."

This was a tough shot to get with the very low light in the bar. I used a little table top tripod and left the shutter open for 1+ seconds. But, that said, the shot I'll post for Chapter 11 tomorrow--which was taken outside the restaurant--was even harder.
