I took this photo at Budapest, on the Margaret Island. The water level of the Danube was low enough to walk under the bridge. It was pretty difficult to walk and to set the tripod on the rocks.Time
This was taken on December 28 at 16:30.Lighting
I shot this picture at the blue hour, after the sun went down and the city lights were turned on. It was a foggy day, so the buildings have some nice light aura around them.Equipment
This was shot with my Nikon D7000 and Nikon Fisheye 10.5 mm. I also used a tripod and a remote controller.Inspiration
I made this picture for my best friend as a Christmas gift. He really likes fishing, and he spends a lot of time at the river. It is also one of my favorite bridge at Budapest.Editing
I used Adobe Lightroom to do the post-processing. I adjusted the white balance to bring out the beautiful colors of the sky and the bridge. I obviously made the basic adjustments on exposure, shadows, highlights etc. I also used some local adjustment with brushes and radial filters to make the most interesting parts of the picture really nice.In my camera bag
I don't have a lot of equipment, so most of the time I have everything I have in my back. Because you can never know what you run in. I have a Nikon D7000 body, for lenses I use a Sigma 50-150 2.8, a Nikon 17-55 2.8 and a Nikon 10.5 Fisheye 2.8.Feedback
If you are planning to shoot cityscape at night you have to pay attention to a few things. The lights are the most beautiful during the time called blue hour. It is right after the sun goes under the horizon. If you shoot during the winter months, like I did, the blue hour is actually only about 20 minutes so you have to plan your shot before. It is necessary to have a tripod and a remote control with you to make sure your picture is going to be sharp. Try to find special viewpoints where there is something interesting in the foreground and the background as well. Set your camera to manual mode. Use long shutter speed (10 sec or more) so the water becomes silky. Set the aperture to f/16, that will make the city lights have star shape. Don't forget to take your gloves and hat with you, because you can get cold quickly on a winter night.
