30-Second Exposure

Post image

No tripod — I placed the camera on the ground of a pedestrian overpass and supported it by hand for the 30-second exposure.

I didn’t have a tripod with me, so I had to improvise 😂 I put the camera on the ground, but since I was using a 150–600mm lens, I still had to hold it at the right angle and desperately keep it from rotating for the full 30 seconds.

You did well to get that quality of shot with no tripod over 30s. 👍

Thank you! Not really 😊 Just some basic adjustments to exposure, contrast and color. Most of what you see comes from the 30-second exposure itself.

Where was this taken?

This was taken from a pedestrian overpass in Osaka, Japan. Below is the Midosuji Line, with Shin-Midosuji running on both sides of it.
