What would a photo journal of a visit to Cal be without a shot of ever popular Sather Tower. Or more commonly, the campanile.

Location

This photo was taken on Lombard St. in San Francisco, CA.

Time

Around 10pm, on a Tuesday night.

Lighting

All natural lighting.

Equipment

Canon Rebel T4i, Cannon 17-55 f/2.8 zoom lens, Manfrotto studio tripod.

Inspiration

I was working on a photography project aimed at capturing the feel of various San Francisco neighborhoods. Lombard street is an iconic part of this city but I didn't think I'd ever be able to get a shot that was clear of hoards of people. I started visiting the area during weeknights hoping to find a time when I could set up without a lot of other flashes and people moving through the shot. It happened that on this night it was raining a bit, so the street was deserted. I set up my camera and tripod in the middle of the intersection and waited for a car to make it's way down the street.

Editing

The photo was edited in Lightroom from contrast, sharpness, and whitebalance.

In my camera bag

A tripod, my camera, a 50mm prime, a 70-200 mm f/4, and a 10-22 sigma wide angle.

Feedback

Timing is everything. I returned to this spot 4 times before I felt like the conditions where the way I wanted them.
