An empty wet street at night under a single sodium lamp, fog suspending the light cone, reflections in the standing water.

Original work HORIZONTAL 16:9

Sodium Fog, No Actor

HUG AI Lab · 2026

Two point three nine to one, and nobody to carry it. Fog does the casting: it turns a lamp into a volume and a street into a stage with the actor removed.

Halation around the source keeps the sodium from reading as colour. It reads as temperature.
