Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken during my trip to the States. Tall skyscrapers with golden light cutting right through endless streets seemed almost unreal. To top it all off, a puddle provided the most perfect reflection showing the city's true glory.Time
It was around 5pm, the golden hour. Central Park was booming with tons of people, the streets were crowded like any other busy NY weekday. In such a busy environment, this light was hardly noticed.Lighting
Nothing is more perfect than golden light shining off of huge glass buildings. But this picture captures even more, it shows the contrast between the still and warm light, against the hustle-bustle city life. A perfectly symmetrical reflection by the puddle, really doubled the beauty of the lighting.Equipment
This was taken using my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Yup, that's all.Inspiration
I really wanted to portray the bright and warm side of the city rather than the usual grey, moody pictures of unenthusiastic people walking around mindlessly. This was a new perspective of the welcoming city, definitely a more positive outlook for street photography.Editing
Just some enhancing using the apps on my phone, mainly VSCO cam.In my camera bag
Just a phone in my pocket and creativity in my mind.Feedback
You HAVE to visit the action-packed streets of NYC. There are endless opportunities to capture and in various angles. Visiting the place around 4-6pm, during the golden hour will provide you with this majestic beauty. Use your own creativity and try to capture most of your surroundings. Good luck!
