Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the British Museum near Tottenham Court Road in central London.

Time

It was around mid afternoon, perfect time of day for maximum light. I was fortunate as the clouds cleared not long before I entered the museum.

Lighting

All natural, the glass roof allows a huge amount of light into the courtyard. This creates a great shadow effect on the floor and surrounds.

Equipment

I shot this using a Nikon D7000 and a 10-20mm sigma lens.

Inspiration

The british museum has some classic architecture in which is excellent for photography. However I hadnt been since this section had been built in the middle of the main wing. The contemporary design and excellent light levels were a real draw for me.

Editing

This was fairly heabily procesed. I imported three RAW files into photomatix pro where i inctreased the tone compression to create a painterly effect. I then increased the tone compression, contrast, sharpness and saturation before exporting into lightroom. There i did the finishing touches of increased clarity, saturation and a slight vignette to bring the focus to the centre of the image.

In my camera bag

I carry a Nikon D7200 normally attached is an 18-300mm lens for street and people photography. I have a 10-20mm lens for architecture, both interior and exterior as well as an 8mm and a 6.5mm fish eye when 10mm leaves me wanting. I also have a 4.5mm circular fish eye for surreal shots although it doesn't get as much use as the other lenses. If i'm away I also carry a sigma 150-500mm lens for wildlife photography. Theres nothing worse than not having the lens for the job!! I have just purchased a 35mm F1.4 lens which I use for portrait and street photography. The wide aperture makes it excellent for night street photography.

Feedback

Bring a wide angle lens, preferably something close to 10mm. Anything higher than about 12mm and you are losing the ability to capture the whole scene. Shoot wide open, this allows more light into the lens which is perfect for HDR processing.
