Behind The Lens

Location

from the top of the deer park farm in Queenstown, below the top in a sheltered spot

Time

around midnight, very winding and cold

Lighting

was always going to be a stitched pano, had to set SS to combat bright street lights

Equipment

Fuji X-T2, samyang F2, 12mm, tripod

Inspiration

nice view and not very often the general public can get to this spot

Editing

Lots, fuji files and Lightroom don't mix too well

In my camera bag

Lots, carry gear for daytime photography and astro photography, use grad and ND filters plus circular filters, small torch, cleaning cloths, remote shutter, 23mm lens, 18-55 lens, samyang 12mm, 55-200mm lens,

Feedback

bit of a juggling act for the weather, new moon, time of night, and keeping warm
