Behind The Lens

Location

This is a shot of my local downtown. I wanted snow (but not too much- fully white mountains have no feel to them!), I wanted dramatic light and color. Really happy with this one.

Time

Sunset, and twilight (combined)

Lighting

Yeah.... no way to actually "light" this, so I had to light it through editing. The skies are from just after sunset. The buildings are from twilight. The mountains are from just before sunset. I layered and masked the different lights I wanted into this final.

Equipment

This was a nikon D810 on my big tripod. Used a 24-70 lens.

Inspiration

See above. Wanted to get different components together.

Editing

Various layering for light effects.

In my camera bag

Did not use a bag for this shoot.

Feedback

THINK about your images before you shoot them. Figure out what you want, and shoot to that end.
