Behind The Lens

Location

Obviously in Hamburg.

Time

Early evening at the beginning of the blue hour.

Lighting

Blue hour photos are all about waiting for the right time. The artificial light needs to be on but the sky needs still enough light as well or contrast will be too big. The air should be clear with little moisture.

Equipment

I used the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the lens Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM as well as a tripod.

Inspiration

I was here on holiday and felt compelled to take the same photo as thousands before and after. It's a great part of the city.

Editing

Just the usual raw processing. My aim is always to keep the photos natural looking.

In my camera bag

I always take my camera, the Canon 5D Mark IV and one or two lenses, mostly the Canon EF 16-35 f4 for landscape, with me. Additionally to the lens I use various neutral density and polar filters to control reflections and the effects of long exposures. And of course a tripod belongs to my basic equipment too.

Feedback

Be early, because there are lots of photographers at this spot.
