Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken on the road to the Faro de Ses Salines in Mallorca, it is a road without light pollution and where there is hardly any traffic.Time
Practically all my work is done in the early hours of the morning or early in the morning. This photo was the last one taken, the last one in a session that started at 11pm and ended around 5am.Lighting
The light traces were made with the car of my fellow photographer Víctor Rodilla. It took several passes to get the lighting effect I was looking for.Equipment
The equipment is not sophisticated at all, just a Sony A7II camera with a Sigma 20mm lens and a Manfrotto tripod.Inspiration
I have always liked to integrate light elements into the night landscape, perhaps inspired by a very important photographer on the island where I live called Marc Marco, whose specialty is this type of photos.Editing
I revealed the basics in LR and then I went on to work with PS especially for the Milky Way and in this specific case the light traces. Then finish the scene in Luminar.In my camera bag
Besides the camera I usually carry three lenses, the Sigma 20mm, a Sigma 170-500mm and a Tamron 28-70mm. I also carry a lot of flashlights and some filters.Feedback
In addition to the basic equipment that I have described before, use a trigger to avoid shaking and not be afraid of the night.
