Andrew Eggers – @andreweggers

Andrew is a member of the Sony Alpha Imaging Collective who is “inspired most from sunset to sunrise.” He uses that inspiration to create beaming light trails throughout a variety of scenes. He captured this one of San Francisco’s famous Lombard Street using the Sony α7R III and Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G Master. Learn more about some of Andrew’s techniques: Shooting light trails, creating a transparent/ghostly effect and shortening long exposures for a hybrid effect.
