Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Treasure Island looking toward San Francisco.

Time

This was shot right after Sunset.

Lighting

No lighting was used.

Equipment

I shot this with Canon 5D MK II with 16-35MM MK II (I think) on tripod. I also use ND graduated filter. oh, I also used myself as a wind shield..... It was very windy day....

Inspiration

San Francisco Bay Area is my second home, and I used to drive over this bridge everyday to get to work. When Bay Bridge got a new LED lighting system, I really wanted to take a nice shot of San Francisco downtown with beautiful Bay Bridge.

Editing

I have done some post-processing, but it is very basic by Adobe Lightroom changing basics.

In my camera bag

I usually carry camera, variety of lenses, ND Graduated filter, polarizer and tripod. Yes, It is quite heavy...

Feedback

I would definitely carry ND graduated filter and polarizer for any skyline shot. It helps me tremendously every time!!
