Behind The Lens

Location

The photograph was taken in Pontypool, South Wales. The Church was decommissioned, empty and unnatended.

Time

Mid-day.

Lighting

Camera Auto Flash only.

Equipment

Canon 40d, and a 60mm Canon lens, and a tripod.

Inspiration

I loved the detritis and the flaking plasterwork. It really begged to be photographed before the building was converted.

Editing

None.

In my camera bag

Camera and one or two lenses. A remote shutter release. Tripod separately bagged.

Feedback

Just take the photographs- save the thinking for later!
