Location
This was taken just up from the Tower of London on my way home.Time
The picture was taken at Night whilst walking around the city practicing long exposure shots. I thought the perspective was a little different than i usually see of this buildingLighting
This Shot was taken using ambient city lights using a 30second exposure, the light trails and starbursts were intentional and when shot with a small aperture are quite easy to achieve.Equipment
Using a Nikon D810 and 24-70 f2.8 lens and a Gitzo systematic 5 tripod and Gitzo head, also used a Lee circular polarising filterInspiration
I just happened across the view as sometimes happens, and thought id see what i could produce, i've walked this way hundreds of times during the day and not given it a second glance.Editing
Just minor sharpening and colour boostingIn my camera bag
I am never without my 2 Nikon D810s, and a set of Nikon primes 50mm f1.4, 85mm f1.8, 105mm f2.8 and also a 16-35mm and 70-200mm f2.8, set of Lee filters and Gitzo tripodFeedback
When walking around city vistas try and look for a different perspective, up high or down low or shoot through an opening etc, try to achieve something someone else hasn't but first rule i always try to follow is have you camera with you at all times. The number of times i've missed a good opportune shot by being lazy and leaving my camera at home!!!
