Location
This photo was taken from Centre Island across downtown Toronto, Ontario. Centre Island is where you can get the best view of the beautiful skyline of Toronto.Time
I actually had gone to capture the Skyline view during Sunset. I went there way earlier around 6.00 PM because I was just getting bored at home. I felt Its better to hang out on an island rather than home on a beautiful evening. I captured this photo around 6.30 PM when the sun was right behind C.N.Lighting
Tower and the clouds had gathered at a much lower level. The sun was right behind C.N. There were natural rays coming through the clouds.Equipment
I used a Trident's tripod, Nikon D5300 with a NIkkor 55-300 mm Lens. Settings used were Camera: NIKON D5300 Aperture: 9/2 ISO: 1600 Shutter Speed: 1/500 Focus Length: 300Inspiration
I always love capturing the C.N. My biggest inspiration at that time was basically everything that was around me. I believe that everything surrounded by us is constantly inspiring us. It takes a real eye and vision to be able to be inspired by our surroundings.Editing
Yes, I did play around with the clouds, the sun ray's that are coming through, and colour balance. Rays were manipulated and they were very subtle originally, I made it a little over exposed and intensified the rays. Thats I believe makes this image look majestic. If you haven't noticed, some rays start from front of the C.N. Which obviously shows it was manipulated a little bit.In my camera bag

Timing is everything. Always observe at the sky, clouds, the lighting, the atmosphere.. When you feel that it is going to be a beautifully lit evening, go out there and start clicking..
