Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh, PA. The view is looking down the Corredor to downtown coming from our uptown section. Fifth Avenue used to be a hustling and bustling Main Street in the Pittsburgh downtown area. Today it is a stretch of vacant buildings, a couple of restaurants, and small retail shops. It saddens me. I didn’t realize I had captured the two red stoplights in the distance. But it kind of represents the change that the street, and the city as a whole has undergone.

Time

This picture was taken literally as the day was beginning. Taken at dawn.

Lighting

It had rained overnight and it was rather foggy. Only light I had was natural lighting.

Equipment

Just a girl and her camera ????

Inspiration

Just the scene its self! The view of the “Highmark” building at the very end beacons, calling your to come on down! At night the tip of the building is illuminated in blue...it’s just beautiful to see as you stare down the corridor and this light glows.

Editing

Absolutely not. Maybe white balance and sharpness.

In my camera bag

Two Canon cameras, a 50, 24, 18-55, 75-300, and 55-250 ... my bag is HEAVY!

Feedback

I’m a self-taught, new photographer. I wish I could offer advice... just practice. Play with location of where you are as you take the pic.
