Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in Grant Park located in Chicago, Illinois.Time
This picture was taken at around 8pm.Lighting
The fountains are lit with various colors that change every couple minutes. I waited until the fountain was lit with the brightest colors to obtain the most detail.Equipment
I used a Nikon D750, Nikkor 50mm 1.8G, and a Benro tripod.Inspiration
This was actually taken during Trey Ratcliff's photo walk. He was very inspiring.Editing
I converted the photo to black and white and then worked in both Lightroom and Photoshop to get the contrast and mood I wanted.In my camera bag
I always have my D750 and 50mm. I just bought a Tamron 15-30 after saving for over a year so I revently added that beast to my bag as well.Feedback
You always here photographers talking about getting low for certain photos to capture a more personal feel and creative angle. I couldn't agree with this idea more! After trying many different heights with my tripod and not getting any interesting results, I ended up with my camera as low to the ground as possible. This gave the scene a much more interesting perspective.
