P#4 An Unusual Twilight Image Of The Eiffel Tower Is A Moneymaker
Seeing the iconic Eiffel Tower in a new light
Anyone who has traveled to Paris has photographed the Eiffel Tower. This photograph by Scott Stulberg is different. The twilight and the use of a wide angle lens make for a very interesting picture. Scott explains how he created such an unusual -- and stunning -- image of an iconic landmark.
Twilight shots are always in demand from stock photography agencies
Scott Stulberg: The next one is a wide angle shot with a 14mm lens, $2,000 lens but I brought this to Europe on purpose so I could get as wide a shot as possible of the Eiffel Tower.
I couldn't have gotten this wide without having a super wide lens. Also I shot this at twilight.
Twilight is one of the biggest money-making times. You could shoot any image, see the blue on the sky? The Eiffel Tower is lit up nicely, I'm on a tripod, I'm doing a long exposure, and I'm getting the blue of the twilight after the sun has gone down. (click the image for a larger version)
Twilight images after the sun has gone down with a long exposure are what's going to help you make your money with something beautiful like that.
To summarize
Twilight images, like this one of the Eiffel Tower, taken with a wide angle lens and a long exposure are one of the things that stock agencies look for.
