Behind The Lens

Location

One day I decided to take a walk with my mom in my neighborhood at night to do some research about the sky at night.

Time

I took it at night, around 8pm to 10pm, not a very cold night.

Lighting

I did a long exposure. The strong light in the tress are from the street lights.

Equipment

I used my Canon T3i with a tripod and a 18-55mm lens.

Inspiration

I have always been a huge fan of astronomy, since I was a kid, when I found out about astrophotography I had to learn more about it and with that I wanted to practice my new skills taking this picture.

Editing

Yes. I did some small changes to make the picture a little bit more saturated so the colors could pop up.

In my camera bag

Well, I always carry with me my 18-55mm lens and my 18-200mm lens. I don't like to carry a lot of stuff.

Feedback

I would say for everyone who wants to do astrophotography to do a lot of research whether is the basics of this kind of photography or where you gonna capture is very important. And be patient. It takes time and a lot of the time you won't get the results right away. So don't worry about it.
