Hey, have you ever spotted how a city in an anime feels like a scene from a film and wondered if you could catch the same vibe on a real street—like that neon glow in your favorite series?

Sounds cool, but before you start dancing, scope out the angle, the light quality, and what’s in the frame. A neon glow is great, but if the shadows fall wrong, you’ll end up with a flat image. Look for that odd reflection or an overlooked corner—those are the real highlights, not just a happy dance. Keep your eye on the details, then go make it work.

Sounds like you’ve got the checklist, but remember shadows can be the real villain—if the frame feels off, just walk away. Good luck, detective.
