Location
I took this photo at my son's new home in Little Rock, AR. This is their dining room chandelier.Time
The time of day this photo was taken was late evening & it was dark outside.Lighting
The lighting for this photo was basically from the light fixture only. The class door & the darkness outside made a good backdrop. The little light reflections in the bulbs looks like Christmas lights but I think it's from the leds from each of the bulbs which made reflections of little lights.Equipment
I used a Nikon D300 with a 50mm lens, ISO 400, F/4, 1/60 SEC.Inspiration
I had been looking at this chandelier each visit to my son's house thinking about wanting to take a photo. That evening was just the right time. Since I love to take photos of objects, I was fascinated by the many little light reflections in the bulbs. It almost looke like Christmas lights, but it wasn't. It was the reflections of the leds in each bulb.Editing
I did do a little bit of post processing but not enough to elaborate on. I cropped a little also.In my camera bag
I no longer have the Nikon D300. I now use Nikon D750 & I love it so much more. It is full frame shooting & a lighter weight camera that fits my hands better. I usually use Nikon 50mm, 12-24mm for indoor real estate shooting occasionally , a 24-120mm, & lastly but not least & also my favorite is a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8. It's so big & heavy but it takes awesome portraits & zoom photos. I hate looking like paparazzi when I carry this lens but the photos are so worth it.Feedback
My only advice is to take the shot!! Take the shot again & again from different perspectives. You will never know until you go for it, even if you have to lay on your back on the dining room table.........
