Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Dusseldorf during a street photo walk ....

Time

8:02 PM

Lighting

I was positioned over the tunnel exit and the light and colors were great and started shooting at low speed as soon as I saw the cars, trying to get the result I got. I took a lot of pictures before this one. Photo was taken at 0.8 sec, f / 9.5, ISO 100

Equipment

I used my Leica SL2 with a Leica M Lens Super Elmar M 21mm f/3.4 ASPH Didn't use a tripod, I leaned on the wall and had the help of the SL2, which has a great image stabilization !

Inspiration

The direction arrows painted on the asphalt and the lights of the night mixed with the red lights of the breaks.... all these inspired me . I really wanted to get this kind of effect.

Editing

Yes did a basic post processing in Lightroom ; crop , improve sharpness , decrease intensity of lights , and other minor adjusts .

In my camera bag

I upgraded to Leica a few months ago. In my bag I carry my Q2 Monochrome and my SL2 with the following lenses: Vario-Elmarit-SL 1:2.8-4/24-90 ASPH and the Super Elmar M 21mm f/3.4 ASPH.

Feedback

My advice is to go for a walk without haste, with your favorite equipment and when you like a spot, stop, think of the photo you would like to take and take pictures until you get the programmed result. If you don't get the desired result, go back home, study the case, think about where you failed and come back the next day! In any case, don't stop taking pictures! I wish EVERYONE A GREAT LIGHT!
