Behind The Lens

Location

Potocki Palace in Krzeszowice near Krakow that's how this place is called. Abandoned and closed, forbidden for visitors because of the condition.

Time

It was early morning, limited light.

Lighting

I did decided to use regular daily light due to the fact that place was really nasty and only with that I could show devastation of this place by time

Equipment

I did use my old fellow means NIKON D90 and Sigma 17-70. No tripod or any other special tools were used in that case.

Inspiration

I really like to see abandoned places. In this case was the same. I was looking for several places around my living place. I did find it and decided to go there although was forbidden to visit. Potocki Palace in Krzeszowice near Krakow that's how this place is called. Abandoned and closed, forbidden for visitors because of the condition.

Editing

In that particular shot I decided to use B&W because of the interesting nice looking environment. In addition to this I enhanced it by sharpening & blackening to obtain apocalyptic vision I had in my mind.

In my camera bag

Well, I use my second fellow during my travels means case logic backpack. Nothing special inside. I am not professional. So, I use one set: NIKON D90 + Sigma 17-70. That's enough. Of course not forgetting about the snacks.

Feedback

If you deciding to visit abandoned places, forbidden for the visitors please go there with the another person, or group of people. It's risky as hell and you need to have assistance just in case if anything wrong happen. These kind of places are devastated by the time and people usually. Good Luck and Success.
