Behind The Lens

Location

I am an abstract artist who uses photography as my medium. This is a photo of the San Diego Bay at night. I captured the water with lights over the city. The dark sky and dark water created the black and purple backgbround. The yellow lights over the water created the golden rings and with the white lights glowing around the bay and coming in from the city buildings created this enchanting color scheme. I digitally stretched/moved the pixels in this photograph to create an abstract representation of the photograph.

Time

Night shoot

Lighting

lightning at night it is best to use a slow shutter speed. Lowest ISO. I was testing all of the settings. I believe this was my first time using this camera as I had just purchased. It was more of a test shoot to see what it could do.

Equipment

Canon EOS 6i

Inspiration

The lights over the water.

Editing

Post processing was software that moves the pixels around in the picture. I grab one edge of a pixel and the entire picture moves. It is amazing. Unfortunately this software no longer exist.

In my camera bag

Canon, two lenses and a cable release

Feedback

Use the lowest ISO possible with a slow shutter speed at night with a Canon. Also it is best to use a Cable Release or Remote to limit movement.
