Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at Crab Park,North Vancouver.. There's no crabs in Crab Park.. The park features a beautiful unobstructed across the Burrard Inlet a view of Downtown Vancouver,Coal Harbour,False Creek and the famous Stanley Park.Time
The photo was taken at 9:00pm when the fireworks were starting..I remember walking downbto the park with my wife thinking, I should've got there sooner... Sure enough,about 50 photographers had taken almost all the good spots, but I managed to find a great spot on the hill which actually gave me a much better shot.Lighting
That shot was taken during the time when we had forest fires raging here in BC. The shot was taken at night of course,but I really had to play around with the settings to capture the color of the moon in the photo which was a result of the fired and haze...Equipment
I love this question...Photography is in my opinion is 60% opportunity, 30% skill and 20% equipment. I shot this photo with a Nikon D200 and a Nikon 55-200mm VR lens and a brand new manfroto tripod I got at a thrift store for $24.00Inspiration
The Vancouver Skyline is beautiful and famous even without the fireworks..But having the skyline as a backdrop for fireworks is just awesome and a shot no photographer could pass upEditing
I work in lightroom and photoshop of course, but I don't like to over edit or over process my images too much,but with this image I really wanted to make the colors vivid and stand out,so yes just a wee bit of post processing and maybe a little filtering to boot..In my camera bag
Currently,I have a NikonD200 body, Sigma 70-200mm Nikon18-55mmVR Nikon 55-200mm Chinese 420mm-800mm manual lens and gadget for doing time lapse photography. I am adding the Nikon D850 body to my bag and new lens.Feedback
Patience and timing... Good things come to those who wait and that goes for photography as well..
