Behind The Lens

Location

Taken from the Forward deck of the Carnival Glory, in view of the Mississippi River Bridge in New Orleans.

Time

Taken at dawn. I waited for the sun to rise.

Lighting

Whenever I go on a cruise, I like to get up super early on the day we get back into port. I walk around at night and try different shots. Some long exposures. This one wasn't. I waited on the Forward Lido Deck of the Carnival Glory as it pulled into port and took the shot as the sun began to rise over the Westbank of the Mississippi River. The shot was taken in New Orleans.

Equipment

Shot with the Sony a7iii and the Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens. Handheld.

Inspiration

New Orleans skies are often gloomy. Its genuinely exciting when you can see color on the horizon.

Editing

I edit in Lightroom. I have a few presets that I've made. I think this one was probably just normal adjustments.

In my camera bag

My walkaround camera is the Sony a7c. I mostly shoot with the Sony 20mm G lens and the Sigma Art 85mm f/1.4.

Feedback

Well in New Orleans, it can be very dangerous to walk around in the dark with camera equipment. I only did this because I was safe on a cruise ship.
