What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?
Nikon D3000
What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?
It was a beautiful cool, windy night at Rockefeller Center. Very crowded with people capturing the spirit of Christmas. This picture was taken on the Plaza by the Christmas tree. I noticed the beautiful flags blowing, the bluish lights illuminating the tree, and the usual lighting and reflection on the building. I got down on my knees and started shooting under the tree angling the camera/lens in different directions. I used a flash on the camera.
Advice
- I wouldn't have done anything different. I see something and begin to visualize how this would look in a still photo. I will try shooting in different angles until I get the right shot.
Why Is This One of Your Favorite Photos?
This is one of my favorite photos, kneeling on the ground at Rockefeller Plaza on Dec. 19, 2011. I captured the tips of the tree with the beautiful Christmas lights. I like how the lights illuminated the building, along with the flags blowing in the wind.
What Did You Learn About Photography With This Photo?
Anything is possible, just keep shooting until you capture something unusual. Don't be afraid to step out of the box.
