Location
This was taken from a bridge over I635 in DallasTime
This was shot right after darkLighting
Ambient light was used for this long-exposure shotEquipment
A Canon 5d mk kik and 16-35mm f2.8L lens was usedInspiration
I was just looking to play with a new lens and the light trails seemed like a fun testEditing
Light and colors were massaged using LightroomIn my camera bag
I normally carry a Canon 80D (I finally wore out the shutter in my trusty 70D) with a Tamron 16/300mm mounted, and a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses, ranging from a 8mm diagonal fisheye to a Sigma 200-500mm telephoto depending on what I'll be shooting. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 16-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open - stay tuned though, the Tamron has issues with the 80D so there's a Sigma 18-300mm on the way as a possible replacement... :-)Feedback
Shoot in full manual and watch the light meter to get the correct exposure
