Location
In April, on Brooklyn Bridge, New York, USA.Time
Dawn.Lighting
Dawn light made for a lovely natural backdrop to the overpowering presence of us.Equipment
A Nikon D750, a 24-120 F4 lens. For this shot the zoom setting was 24mm, ISO 100, F8 and shutter 1/50 sec.Inspiration
Brooklyn Bridge is an impressive structure – bricks and steel, lines fanning out in all directions, but leaving the New York cityscape and dawn sky very visible behind. A photographer’s dream.Editing
Adjustments in Camera RAW to bring out the details and texture in the image. Fine tuning in Photoshop.In my camera bag
I love the mountains, so as little as possible - at present a Nikon D750 camera body, a Nikkor 24-120 small zoom and the 55-300 bigger zoom, a spare battery and beaten up lightweight tripod - good for hiking. If I'm going for a summit then it's even less - a compact Lumix TZ 220 with mirrorless through the lens digital view finder, full manual operation and RAW file capture - absolutely great when you still want to control your photography but need to keep moving and can't afford to have stuff hanging off you.Feedback
I think this image is a good example of anchoring to a single focal point, despite there being a multitude of possible photographic angles. In such a visually rich setting it’s important to be clear about the point of your image.
