Location

This was taken one night in August of 2017 in Fort Worth, TX at one of the malls. I remember this was one of those traveling carnivals and I thought I would come later and try some night time long exposures. This is one of my favorites from that night.

Time

This was captured late in the evening at about 9:00 PM. It was a beautiful night but a little hot and steamy if you know anything about Texas weather, It can get pretty hot and sticky. But we lucked out that night and it wasn't too bad. Glad we made it.

Lighting

No special lighting necessary or needed when you have all the gorgeous lighting being offered at your convenience. With a little luck and right place and time you can come up with some awesome images.

Equipment

That night I had my Canon EOS 5D MK IV with my EF24-105mm F/4L IS USM set at ISO 100, f/22 and 10 seconds. Of course I was using a tripod. No way this old man can hold any camera steady for that long.

Inspiration

Inspiration came from my constant viewing of other work by other more talented photographers. Carnival lights also enticed me to try my hand at this type of work.

Editing

Most of my post-processing is done in LightRoom. This was no exception. A little bit of everything for this photo, but not too much. Temperature was adjusted to give the lights that warmer look. Highlights and shadows were also adjusted along with some vibrance and saturation.

In my camera bag

These days I don't carry as much as I use to. So my favorite choice of camera is the Canon EOS R. Other than the rf 50mm nifty fifty all my other lens are EF. So back to what's in my bag. First thing is my bag is the Canon EOS R. The RF 50mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm. One off camera flash and transmitter just in case. Extra batteries, memory card and tripod.

Feedback

Just have fun trying this kind of photography. For this shot I first set my aperture very narrow because I wanted a lot of the image to be in focus. Of course use a tripod as this well require a long exposure. Like I said earlier, I can't hold a camera that steady for that long. A remote trigger is advisable and if not you can use the in camera timer. Now just play around with the time of exposure up and down until you get what you like. Have fun.
