I haven’t invested a lot of time into photography over the past few weeks. Sundays most but nothing serious.
Last night I decided to change the status quo and headed out for a few minutes. My weapons of choice: Canon 1300D and 50mm f/1.8 lens. Shutter speed set to 25 seconds and an aperture of f/8.
This was the first photo I took and it was only when the camera was busy capturing light when I saw two people walking in front of the building using their mobile phones as torches. No idea what they were looking for but it was a great addition to the image.
I usually wait for cars to past by for straight light trails. White and red ones. The image above has a more human element. The structure of the windows and the lines of the complex VS the squiggly lines drawn by human hands searching for something in the darkness.
I’m so happy with this image that I have uploaded it to my Paystack shop front. If you’re interested in owning this image you can purchase it here.
In the process of…
When I started to consider selling images I was hesitant to sell physical copies of my images. Mostly because shipping them to the States or UK was something which would cost me perhaps a kidney.
I was reading up on local couriers and I found a business which does ship to the UK & US. I have signed up for an account and if all goes according to plan (which includes the cost of shipping) I might be able to ship prints to the US & UK soon.
Looking forward to see where this endeavor takes me.
In closing.
