Behind The Lens

Location

Sparta, Tennessee Town Square. I entered it in a Photography contest. It placed 1st & also won the Best of Show out of all the entries. Grand Prize winner. It made the Cover of Progress Magazine! I could not ask for more than that. Except for maybe getting featured on Viewbug!

Time

It was real late at night. The streets were empty. Set my camera up in the middle of the street. Didn't even get run over!

Lighting

This was a time exposure with no flash used. Just a steady tripod and a little time.

Equipment

I used a tripod. Canon 40mm pancake lens. F16 3"1/5 second exposure.

Inspiration

I was inspired by the lighting & beautiful colors!

Editing

Just tweaked the contrast a little and the brightness.

In my camera bag

I usually carry my Canon 40mm pancake lens. My Canon 24-85mm USM.

Feedback

Just take your camera out at night and find some inspiring lighting. Pop it on your tripod. Experiment with different time exposures until you get what your looking for.
