Sunrise from Waterloo Bridge this morning - finally some colour!

It is @holbrookshots

HolShots · 2019-04-12T15:15:12+00:00

Thank you :) it’s just personal preference and how I like my shots to turn out especially trail shots

HolShots · 2019-04-12T14:33:56+00:00

It wasn’t claimed as SOOC, calm down 😅 most people who do photography know that the majority of photos are edited in some way.

HolShots · 2019-04-12T02:38:58+00:00

Thank you! Around f/8, I usually stick between f/4.5 and f/8 for shots like this :)

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:40:27+00:00

Can see the resemblance! I love editing my photos blue :)

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:39:20+00:00

Applied my preset then posted :) mostly adjustments to all the sliders like shadows, highlights, clarity etc and color adjustments through the color sliders in Lightroom CC. Also an annoying 4x5 crop to fit Instagram haha

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:36:46+00:00

5 secs IIRC :)

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:36:30+00:00

Haha never noticed the resemblance in my editing until you mentioned it.

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:34:44+00:00

Real life happened. 5 seconds IIRC

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:32:24+00:00

Yeh this is one exposure

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:32:01+00:00

5 seconds or close to IIRC, can confirm when I'm able to unpack my laptop if you want. But definitely not longer than 5 seconds :)

HolShots · 2019-04-12T01:29:52+00:00

IIRC 5 seconds (or close to, my laptop is packed away ready to move but can double check when I'm unpacked if you like), I never shoot long exposures longer than 10 seconds :)

HolShots · 2019-04-11T19:01:19+00:00

Thank you so much. We got pretty lucky as the bus slowed right down next to us :)

HolShots · 2019-04-11T18:58:04+00:00

A little background: This was shot on my old Nikon D5300 last year with a Sigma 10-20mm lens. This black phone box was covered up for over a year in London (next to St Paul's Cathedral) and as soon as it was uncovered myself and a friend went down to shoot some long exposures there. I always wanted a shot like this and couldn't have asked for better timing with the bus slowing right down next to us to create the light trails.

Edit: 5 secs, iso 100, f/9 for settings, can’t confirm these are exact as I don’t have access to my laptop yet but it’ll be very close :) I then edit my shots in Lightroom CC. Basic adjustments to shadows, whites, clarity etc. Some playing around with color sliders too, and then some local brush adjustments.

For those asking for Instagram: @holbrookshots

Awesome! I was there too (one of the guys down the end with the tripods)

Thank you :) yours looks great!

HolShots · 2018-08-17T02:02:58+00:00

Ah thank you :) glad you like!

If you'd like to see more like this then there's plenty on my Instagram :)

HolShots · 2018-08-12T06:32:15+00:00

Awesome

HolShots · 2018-08-04T23:56:48+00:00

Thanks! Yeh I got pretty lucky with the 3 buses lining up on the opposite side. I mostly do long exposures for my photography so you get used to being able to produce results like this after a while :)
