Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken on an early morning in Washington DC. I lived about 15min away and on a cold morning with very few tourists I got up to take this photo.Time
Early probably around 5:30 I got set-up and took multiple practice shots. When the clouds are this perfect you have to arrive early before others come out.Lighting
No I did not bring any extra lighting, just took long exposuresEquipment
Canon 5DS with a tripodInspiration
I met a photographer from FLICKR who inspired this photo and helped with the set-up. Its nice to have someone with you in the cityEditing
Yes I love lightroom for post editingIn my camera bag

Wake up early before the crowds. It might be painful getting up early but its worth it in the end
