Behind The Lens

Location

Took this image after a day visitng the city of San Francisco California. I drove across bridge and set up equipment to take this image. Police told me unsafe and couldnt take image at particular spot. So I drove off roadside and took this handheld image just after sunset.

Time

Took image within a half hour after sunset.

Lighting

Loved the glow of the city lights.

Equipment

Pentax 6x7 Medium format camera using kodachrome 120 mm slide film

Inspiration

lived California for over 15 years, northern california where i was a deputy sheriff oroville paradise area butte county and lived Palm Springs California for 9 years always loved the San Francisco area and North of there Lagunitus Area where friends lived and wanted pic of City at Night.

Editing

I used photoshop 6.0 to do reflection of city in water area.

In my camera bag

Now i have nikon d 850, nikon d 5100 half dozen lenses. Had 4x5 large format and pentax 6x7 outfit when this image was taken. Had darkroom for years developing own, black and white and color films, slides and did own printing for years.

Feedback

Steady camera i was lucky hand held this image but had tripod set up thats the way to go and bracket images.
