Location
This was taken on one of my trips to London not far from Liverpool st StationTime
This taken late morning on very damp and wet dayLighting
A wet and dull day in london, which presented a nice opportunity to catch the reflections on the wet roadEquipment
The camera was my old Nikon D50 with the nikkor 18-105 zoomInspiration
I was crossing the road and saw a bus go by with lights on and that looks good with the reflections in the road so i waited on an island in the middle the road to catch the next bus to pass to beable to catch the underground sign as well really gives you a sense of where you areEditing
post processing was done with psp and easy HDR to bring out the detail and shadowsIn my camera bag
It depends on where I am going and what i am doing for a trip like this, it was my nikon plus my Nikkor 18-70 zoom a sigma 10- 20 wide angle Metz flashgun and a polarizing filter plus cleaning clothesFeedback
always look out for lights and reflections they can really turn a snapshot into a photograph and try to invest in the best software you can afford even it's an older version and take your time and learn how to use it. It will be worth it
