1/60 sec @ f/1.8, ISO 160, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II)
Work sent me off to the far away and exotic land of Mount Laurel, NJ for the week. After putting in a long day at the client, I headed to the hotel to check in and drop off my things. I broke out the camera and took a stroll outside of the building to see what new and interesting things were ready to be photographed. The first interesting subject to preset itself was the lit Marriott sign in the parking lot.
I played around by taking several different shots using both wide and narrow apertures. I made sure to change my perspective multiple times while I was locked into each aperture setting. Today’s photograph was my favorite of the series.
In post-processing, I found myself using one of Matt Kloskowski’s presets once again. It was called “Matt’s Sin City – Light Red”. I found this free preset on Matt’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Killer Tips web site.
A self-proclaimed tech-geek, I enjoy anything powered by batteries or electricity. I'm not happy until I understand the full potential of any new gadget I get my hands on....
