Congratulations ! Awesome image.

Thanks, I will go here often but prefer a slow day with less of a crowd.

Sorry I have deleted a Congratulation from a fellow Viewbug due to my lack of knowledge of this software. I wished I could reverse it but I do not know how.

Nice!

Thanks

See all

These falls are located not too far from Sparta, TN. The closer you get to the falls the less cell phone reception you will have. I knew I needed more

Low budget studio setting. Thirty minute lunch.

Location

Taken from the top floor of ACME, a restaurant converted from an old feed store in Nashville, TN this was really my race against time to get a sunset shot.

Time

Usually I am downtown between 7 and 8 pm to capture a different sky as I wander thru the streets of Nashville.

Lighting

Using the natural light of the sun and the street lights I seldom take a flash while planning a landscape.

Equipment

I own Sony cameras and chose the A7R with a wide angle SEL1018 lens.

Inspiration

This photo was an impulse shot taken in a hurry after a meal. My goal was to exit the restaurant and spend more time at different locations but I was with family and made the best of what little time I had.

Editing

I used photoshop to crop and Nik software Color Efex Pro to adjust contrast. I also used Dfine in Nik to to cut the noise in the sky and Detail Extractor to sharpen the buildings. I used Output Sharpener to blur the sky by adjusting sliders to the left and using the brush tool.

In my camera bag

Opening my camera bag I have the Sony A7R with the VG vertical grip installed and A6000 camera. The Lens are FE 2,8/35, SEL1018, FE 1,8/55 and FE 4/70-200 G OSS. The Fotopro X4i-E is light weight and attached to my bag.

Feedback

The sunset is my goal and the colors that you can get with each sunset can be a surprise for the persistent photographer that arrives early enough. I like to do repeat visits to the same spot and practice long exposures and HDR when I like the location with plans of practicing post production using Photoshop with Nik software.
