Behind The Lens
Location
Paddington Brisbane Queensland Australia The sunset sets behind the Caxton Street.Time
Just a bit before sunset.Lighting
The location is slightly raised up and the sunset occurs behind a low hill. Waiting for a certain time allows for the beautiful colours to come out. Different nights, different coloursEquipment
7D Mk 2 plus Standard lens. Really low Aperture. I wanted to get as much of the tree in.Inspiration
The word. I kept on hearing in photo circles and wasn't sure what it was. But when I found out I thought I would go out and intentionally create some situations. I discovered that the blur is varied to the point where the location becomes unrecognisable, so it is a bit of an experiment to get the optimum amount of blur before the image becomes totally irrecognisable.Editing
I tweaked the blue and tweaked the gold just to bring out the colours a little more on screens. Lightroom was used for this.In my camera bag
I worship at the Canon Alter. I own a 7D Mk2 but hire cameras on a regular basis to experiment. 5D 2&3 and 1 DX 1D Mk2 Even shhhs don't tell canon but I shoot with a Nikon as well.Feedback
Experiment. Take lots of shots different angles and you can be surprised.
