Location
I traveled to Pittsburgh for a seminar. My boss suggested that I visit the Duquesne Incline. I was alone and it was creepy!!Time
This image was capture about 20 minutes after sunset.Lighting
I wanted to capture the flicker of city life on the water. I focused on the horizon and enjoyed the view.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon 5D Markiii 70-200mm lens on a tripodInspiration
Night city lights are intriguing to me. The beauty of the lights along with the flicker on the water has a way of camouflaging the monsters that seemingly come out at night. It’s emotional.Editing
I did minimal post processing. I increased the clarity and made some minor exposure adjustments.In my camera bag
My Canon 70-200 2.8 lens is typically my first grab. I also carry a 50 mm 1.2, and speedlight 430EX.Feedback
A sturdy tripod is a must. Be patient and focus on the horizon.
