The St. Peter's Church (1425–1500) was finished by Jan Keldermans and Matheus de Layens. During the Second World War the church was damaged; during the restoration a Romanesque crypt from the 11th century was found. In the church itself there are several paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries (among others, Dirk Bouts's famous painting of the last supper) and the grave of Duke Henry I of Brabant. The 50-metre-high tower — which was meant to be 169 metres high, but was never completed — is home to a carillon. The tower was included in UNESCO's list of Belfries of Belgium and France in 1999.

Behind The Lens

Location

Leuven, Belgium

Time

It was late evening and my friends took me to this magic city.

Lighting

This was in the center of the city. Magical lights, and nice atmosphere. I used only natural light for this photo.

Equipment

Canon 6D + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, Tripod for the long exposure. No flash, only the natural light of the late evening.

Inspiration

The architecture of Saint Peter's Church is amazing. The shadows, the look, the atmosphere.

Editing

Shooting in RAW, then Adobe Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro 2

In my camera bag

Canon 6D + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, or Sigma 35mm F/1.4

Feedback

Get your camera when you go around. Don't hesitate to take photo, try again. Experiment. And practice. Good luck :)
