Gear Used for the Night
To capture the vibrant energy of New Year’s Eve at the Owl Bar, I relied on the following gear:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark III: A full-frame camera that delivers exceptional image quality, perfect for low-light settings.
- EF 35mm f/1.4L USM: A prime lens that excels in capturing sharp, detailed images with a beautiful background blur, ideal for the intimate and dynamic atmosphere of the bar.
Using this combination of gear, I documented the night’s festivities in stunning detail, capturing every smile, toast, and candid moment perfectly.
