Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo from the platform of Dalmeny Railway Station, which is in the south side of the Forth Bridge.

Time

This was taken late winters evening about 8pm.

Lighting

All light in this photo is from the Floodlights for the bridge and from the Trains headlights, destination display and a little from passenger saloon.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D3200 with a standard 18-55 lens mounted on a low cost tripod from the supermarket.

Inspiration

This was actually the result from a practice shoot in long exposure photography.

Editing

No post-processing was done

In my camera bag

My bag usually contains; Nikon D3200 with 18-55, 55-200 and 75-300 lenses. A few filters and micro lenses van also be found in with the spare batteries and memory cards.

Feedback

Only advice I can give is patience, with patience comes results.
