Behind The Lens

Location

December, Singapore.

Time

Just after sunset.

Lighting

This was manmade light shot in darkness, so a high ISO was needed to avoid the need for a tripod.

Equipment

A Nikon D750 38mm, ISO 2000, F5 and shutter 1/25 sec.

Inspiration

These giant artificial trees at Gardens by the Bay are a spectacular sight, whether viewed from a distance or from within.

Editing

Adjustments in Camera RAW to bring out detail in light and shadow, then some further 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

Invest in camera gear that performs well at high ISO settings. This allows far greater options for shooting in low light without being burdened by a tripod.
