Rainbow Crosswalk Long Exposure

This week, I’m sharing the behind the scenes of one of my favorite portraits: the Rainbow Crosswalk Long Exposure.

I love this photo. I love the composition. I love the location. I love the rainbow crosswalks in Atlanta, and this shot is one that I’ve been after for a while. I’ve even tried to get it before. The angle in this one was one of the most hard parts. The camera needed to be as high as it could safely be in order to get as much of the crosswalks as possible.

The next problem was the lighttrails. I wanted a ton of lighttrails in the background, which means a longer shutter speed. Well, the longer the shutter speed, the less likely my subjects are of being in focus because people naturally move. That’s where a good 2 hours of photoshop and camera magic comes in.

After all of my work, this is the shot I got. I love it, but I have learned from this picture. I even want to try the concept again!
