Location
This photo was taken along the east river promenade on Roosevelt Island in New York City.Time
This photo was taken at dusk.Lighting
What attracted me to this scene was the fact that the street lamps had just turned on, even thought it was not yet completely dark out. It created a unique glowing look as a result of this.Equipment
This was shot on my Canon 60D using a tripod.Inspiration
I wanted to capture a sense of calm & serenity in the foreground, while at the same time, capturing the hustle & bustle of the big city in the background.Editing
I added some luminance to the photo to give it a smooth texture.In my camera bag
I usually carry either my Canon 60D or my Canon 70D Mark III, with a 70-200mm lens.Feedback
Patience is the single most important thing when shooting at dusk. One night can be substantially different than the next, so you must be willing to photograph the same scene on multiple different nights.
