Ben Horne

Location of Photograph:

Ocean Beach, California

What the photographer likes about the image: 

Near perfect symmetry. The orange glow on the pier from nearby street lights.

Techniques Used:

Wide angle lens. Use of a tripod in low light situation (1/4 second exposure). Graduated neutral density filter used to darken the sky.

Things to notice:  

Use of leading lines to form strong composition. Carefully planned shot with manual settings of the camera. Unusual way of "seeing" the pier.
