Behind The Lens

Location

Photo made in Budapest January cold night the famous Chain Bridge

Time

Night

Lighting

Yes because the big fog and reduced visibility in the city at tourist attractions extra light was not used but low lights with fog are great mix .

Equipment

I use just my sony A7S with the amazing sharp and rare for wide lens image stabilized 16-35mm f/4.0 Zeiss lens .

Inspiration

I have for more than 2 years published my low lights conditions no flash no tripod use clear moment photography . Lions in fog is the second famous this settings used photo of mine . From than i get better and better capturing clear even the rain in the night at 25600 ISO f/4.0 at 500s and even 1000s like a day sport settings use photography ...lots are asking for what is good if they take a tripod and they use long exposure ...is fine nice but you will not have the moments ...this kind of photography is extremely usefully in situations where are low lights conditions and flash or other lights use is forbidden like stages shows concerts ballet even sport events where flash use is strictly forbidden because can blind or disturb the concurrent the artist dancer ...even the public This kind of photography because the low lights conditions the lens will focus slower so capturing the really great moments are not easy sometimes try reading between the lines in one scene what will happen and be ready for capture it .

Editing

Yes in this cases of big ISO is some noise in the photos what need to be reduced and after noise reduction i give back some sharpness in Photoshop .

In my camera bag

Ha ha good question , in my experience one camera good for all not exist ...usually i have 3 cameras by me with extra battery if i need it and 5 lens for cover all m situations . Sony A6500 for day and sport photography with 70-200 or 70-300 lens ,Sony A7 with 55mm f/1.8 and Batis 85mm f/1.8 for portraits , and Sony A7S for night photography with 16-35mm Zeiss F/4.0 but in some cases i use the same the 85mm Batis and 70-200mm f/4.0 if i need telephoto in the night .

Feedback

Lot of people are not understand the great situation here capturing the moments in the night the magic lights without destroy all with flash use ... today's night life in big city-es streets party-es just entering in the night and photographing like daylights without disturbed anyone . But how great it looks i get more enemy than friends because this kind of photography ,maybe is great nice but is bad for business all situations where they extra charge for lights even extra press shows...so i personally in this part of the world where i m , one place where they need more brainwashed buttonpusher no quality photography , because most people they scratching their smartphones screen for view the photos will be not visible , what is a quality photo and what is a shit and the value of photos are given by socialize sites sympathy likes count , ...my most local photography accreditation are denied , most of my photos are don' t published and shared they try do all for this kind of photography don't exist , in 2 years just 3 people are hire me for photography , i m hunting night scenes on streets like a vampire , i can not pay even my bills just because i try bring something great in photography and i even share it for 2 years . I don t try to be the best photographer because no one is , i don't see made something wrong with this kind of photography who understand it and can use in the right place is actually one gold mine . In my age of 51 when people are will look at you more like a crazy trying share something great with others and my way of glory actually fails in tragedy i have nothing to lose and this made me stronger and i don't give up :)
