I am not a very popular photographer at all but I explore and see a lot of new landscapes each day for the past three year (at least 50 per day) this is one of the best landscape shots I have ever seen the exposure and the post processing is exquisite and the lighting perfect it has everything a landscape should have plus more well done!!

Out of this world.
See all

Behind The Lens

Location

I scouted locations on the internet and found this place, Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York.

Time

This was taken during sunset.

Lighting

The weather had been very bad for many weeks, so i was very lucky and happy that the weather turned out this beautiful.

Equipment

My Nikon D800, Nikkor 16-35 f/4, B+W 10 stop filter and a Manfrotto Tripod.

Inspiration

I've seen a lot of beautiful photos from the New York skyline, so when i was in New York, i just had to visit this place.

Editing

Just regular post-processing, increased the shadows and decreased the highlights to get more details in the image, and some smaller changes like contrast, exposure etc.

In my camera bag

Since Landscape is what i love to shoot, i always carry my Nikkor 16-35 wide angle lens, ND filters and my tripod.

Feedback

Scout locations via the internet. Try to be unique, if its not the composition that are unique, try something different with the lighting or in the post process.
