Behind The Lens
Location
This photograph is of the BP Saltend chemical works in Hull, North East England.Time
Early evening on a dark cold and windy winters night.Lighting
Natural light in the dark using a long exposure.Equipment
Camera was a Nikon D610 fitted with a Nikon 24-70mm lens. A tripod was used to allow for the long exposure times.Inspiration
I wanted to capture the staring structures and industrial lighting and feel to the area with the added interest of the trails of steam coming from the chimneys due to a long exposure time.Editing
Cropped and levels adjusted then converted to black and white all using Photoshop Lightroom.In my camera bag
I carry two Nikon bodies. I use the full frame Nikon D610 for mainly landscape photography. I also have a D500 that I use with a large zoom for wildlife, action and aviation shots.Feedback
Low ISO and high aperture combine to give a longer exposure time to enhance the trails of steam in this shot.
