Location
This photo was taken at the Empire State Building, midtown Manhattan, on Fifth Avenue between West 33rd and 34th Streets.Time
It was 11:14 AM, on September 2009.Lighting
I wanted my picture of the Empire State Building to be totally different from what we normally see. "Gotham City" was the inspiration that came up to my mind while editing. I took advantage of black, extolling the clouds which resulted in this dramatic touch on the photo.Equipment
I used a LUMIX DMC-ZS3 1/800sec. f/5.6 4.1 mmInspiration
New York City fascinates me, and I believe that living here is to be an eternal tourist. The energy emanating from this city makes us always want to see more, feel more, register moments and scenes more and more every day. I say that because I'm a street photographer and can feel all that I said above.Editing
I "play" a lot on Corel PaintShop Pro X8. And when I say "play" I really mean it. I experiment effects and when I look at the image in front of me and say "WOW, that's what I wanted!", it's just a matter of clicking "save" and voilà!In my camera bag
I usually carry a LUMIX, a Fujifilm X100s and a Nikon D40. And of course, lots of batteries.Feedback
Well, my motto is: always think outside of the box! Follow your instincts (especially when editing), your intuition, and enjoy your time and camera ( make it your accomplice!). Have fun shooting, and never worry about criticism. I usually shoot with a group of friends; all the professional photographer; but I never try to imitate them. The eyes are mine, and also mine is the particular and unique vision. In more ... just dare!
