Very nice point of view. The B&W seems to accent this image very well.

Behind The Lens

Location

American Village, Okinawa, Japan

Time

Night

Lighting

You see what you get.

Equipment

Nikon D40; Nikon 18-55mm kit lens. Hand held.

Inspiration

I loved the composition when looking up from this vantage. It took a few shots to obtain one that was salvageable because I did not have a tripod with me.

Editing

Black and White conversion.

In my camera bag

Nikon D300; Nikon 50mm f1.4 AIS;Nikon 50mm f1.8G; Nikon 85mm f1.8D; Nikon 35mm f1.8G DX; Tokina 12-24mm; Sigma 150mm f2.8; Manfrotto Tripod; LEE Big Stopper and assorted LEE adapter rings; Nikon SB 600 flash.

Feedback

Have your camera around you always. Who cares if you look like a tourist...everyone does at some point. Shoot what you think is interesting and walk around things to see if they seem different and unique from different vantage points.
