Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in a park behind my school. The area had low ambient light and the right amount of trees that I needed in my photograph.Time
I took this photo at about 10:30pm, starting the shoot at around 9:30pm. Since I am a self-taught photographer, it took a while to get the right photograph.Lighting
I wanted to evoke curiosity in my photograph, so I tried to make the focus of the image the embedded blue light. I also wanted to make the blue light look like it was supposed to be there, so I added light on the trees where the "tunnel" would be reflecting off.Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D3100, with an 18-50mm lens using a cable release and tripod.Inspiration
I was inspired by the idea of travelling to an unknown place. The best way I could represent this, was creating a spherical tunnel that drifted off into the depths of darkness, surrounded by wilderness.Editing
I added a bit of brightness to the image in photoshop, but other than that, it is barely touched.In my camera bag
I usually have a Nikon D3100, an 18-50mm lens, cable release, tripod, and a few flashlights.Feedback
Patience is key. Most of the exposures that you set may go for up to 3 minutes, and on top of that, the amount of times you may have to re-do the shot. Adding all of that together, you could be in a shoot from 15 minutes to 2 hours or more. Even if you don't get your preferred photo in a shoot, try again. Never give up on creating the best photo you can. Also, experimenting with the facilities and equipment that you possess is in your favour. The possibilities are endless.
