Chasing Colors: The Magic of Arcade Glow

@woofie · 2025-08-25 15:50 · Photography Lovers

Greeting Hivers! It's me, Iris from East Java, Indonesia. Few days ago, I was running errands on a shopping mall near my house and since it was a regular noon in the weekday, the place is quite empty. I passed by a pretty famous arcade chain in my town and was really intrigued to find it relatively empty.

Still, the dazzling electric colors tirelessly bleeping to attract stray customer in vain. I was mesmerized by the lone beauty of that scene and decided to capture the moment. Please do note that I am just an amateur who try to take some good photos, and since I brought my nice working phone, I figured why not to take some shots.

I like how the glow reflected on the glossy white tiles. The place that usually crowded and lively can look so eerie in clashing colors.

However, it was always exciting to see the neon colors glimmering with the familiar cheerful tunes in the background. With toys and machines eagerly waiting to be played.

It was quite bit hard to take good photos because sometime I got backlight. But I kind of satisfied with the results.

I tweaked the results using the editor feature on my phone to increase the contrast and add some dramatic effect. Because, I don't know -something about the cheerful beam among the lone and emptiness really struck me in awe.

And that's all about it because I didn't had much time to explore and still in the middle of working hours. Please let me know your thoughts and I hope you enjoy my quite simple entry.

Thank you for reading and see you around Hivers!
