Behind The Lens

Location

The Ha'penny Bridge, Dublin Ireland. The bridge, assembled on site, opened on May 19th 1816 and citizens enjoyed ten toll free days. Thereafter it was a convenience, paid for in ha’pennies.

Time

I started shooting at 19.00pm in the evening and finished at 20.35pm. This covered a wide gamut of evening light.

Lighting

Sometime its hit and miss due to the weather, that's why you allow plenty of time.

Equipment

Canon 7D Mk1, Canon 10-22mm lens @ 20mm, ISO 100, F4.0, s/s 10sec with tripod

Inspiration

I was out on a trip with the local camera club. Always safety in numbers, when going to populated areas with expensive equipment. The trip was designed to give the junior member the chance to experience the BLUE HOUR.

Editing

Post was using Lightroom 3. With a bit of dodgeing and burning. Also getting the WB right due to the cast of the street lights.

In my camera bag

Everything suitable to the situation I am going to shoot

Feedback

Research what you are going to do,take some notes before hand and experiment. Re-visit the same place if possible and improve.
