Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken from WFC. Highest sky creeper until 2005.

Time

It was around 9 pm.

Lighting

I arrived with the sunset and the picture was taken with the dark, but before the city lighting starts so there wasn't too many lights to get this contrast.

Equipment

I used a D90 with an 18-105mm mounted on a tripod

Inspiration

The feeling when seeing the city from above from this monster made of metal and concrete inspired me to search a way of transmitting this view.

Editing

Nothing but contrast and very little saturation corrections

In my camera bag

In travel cases I am only carrying my camera with a just a 18-105mm.

Feedback

The times of changes give more opportunities. Try to shoot pictures since sunset until night lighting in the city. An awesome combination of the darkness, natural and artificial lights occur before the total city lighting.
