Amazing phototure. Love the Black and White. Love how the light captures the walking man. Shadows add to the effect. Outstanding phototure/work.

Behind The Lens

Location

Just near Park Street in the City of London UK

Time

It was around 10pm at night on our way back to the tube after a wonderful day out

Lighting

While walking through the back streets I spotted the lights in the tunnel leading away from the Golden Hind and couldn't resist raising my ISO (8000)lowering my shutter 1/200th & opening my lens F2.8 then snapped the wall until I was happy.... I had my wife stand to the side of me that way people acted normally and this guy came out of nowhere brief case and phone in hands so just waited for him to walk past the light..... Lucky on my part

Equipment

Nikon DF & Nikon F2.8 28mm

Inspiration

The inspiration was the down light and wall .... The scurrying passersby in a very busy City late at night and this one single light in a tall dark tunnel screaming Shoot me...SHOOT ME

Editing

Hardly any just a quick use of the Nik (Google) define software to reduce the noise as I shot at ISO 8000....

In my camera bag

Nikon DF, Nikon D600 and Sigma 70-200 F2.8, Sigma 10-24mm F3.5, Nikon 50mm F1.4 and Nikon 28mm F2.8.

Feedback

Think out of the box... everybody was taking night shots of the Golden Hind just around the corner... They all have that shot with a million other visitors.. This was a single light in a tunnel people kept walking under...... Be brave and sometimes you have to shoot at the extremes of your equipment if it works then the gamble is well worth the couple of minutes setting up your camera...if it doesn't what have you lost..
