Behind The Lens

Location

Historic Sunset Station - Downtown San Antonio - Texas

Time

I went out during the night, to try get the magic, the mystery and the beauty of Christmas lights in downtown of San Antonio. this one was my third stop of the night, around 10pm. I already tried shot there before, but unfortunately the light decoration is only for Christmas time. It is a gorgeous place to take kids portrats.

Lighting

I used 4 seconds exposure to get better light effects, more intense and dramatic details.

Equipment

Canon T4i, lens Canon 24-70mm f-2.8, set up on Tripod, 4sec exposure.

Inspiration

I was looking for nice spots to capture the beauty and spirits of Christmas in downtown are.

Editing

just did few adjusts in the curves

In my camera bag

my basic equipment it is my Canon T4i, my lens Canon 24-70mm f-2.8, Tripod (Manfrotto MK394-H) perfect for me, not to heavy and big, but sturdy enough for take my long exposure photos that I love it! many flash lights

Feedback

you have try find the best angle, and explore the exposure time to make the light effects looks more dramatic, and be patient.
