Symmetry: It’s my favorite thing to look for when I’m trying to capture that “perfect” shot. This was taken on April 4th, 2015 at 10:30p.m. I was on my way home home from visiting my dad from Rocklin and decided to go night shooting in Downtown Sacramento…

California State Capitol- Downtown Sacramento, CA.

If you’ve never been, this is an awesome city to visit. I would cruise around from time to time on my days off just to hang out and “escape” in a new city for a few hours. I would pass by California State Capitol often, so it was only a matter of time until I parked my car to take this shot. It was during a weeknight, so it took a while for any car to pass to get the red streaks of light from the car brake lights…

Some of the features I was looking for in this shot were the patterns of street lights, the crosswalk paint, and the trees evenly displayed on both sides. I also used a fisheye lens to capture the entire width of that space, while still having the Capitol Building as the center of attention.

Hope you like it- See you next Tuesday!
