Location
This image was taken in 2012 in Atlantic City's Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino. This casino had many beautiful ceiling coverage. This one particularly stood out because of the unique shapes.Time
This photo was taken during the day as my family and I was walking around the casino area comparing it to the one in Las Vegas. Usually you are not allowed to taken photos in a casino but since I was shooting the ceilings.Lighting
It's been a long time since I took this image but I am sure I shot it with the on-camera flash. I had just had shoulder surgery so I know I was not using my hot shoe flash.Equipment
At that time in my life I only had a Canon 50D. I shot this image by hand-holding my camera.Inspiration
The beautiful colors and unusual shapes covering the casino floor due my eyes directly to these upside-down umbrella shapes.Editing
I was a firm believer in taking the best photo from the start that wouldn't need any editing. Also I did not do any Photoshop or Lightroom on this image as I was not proficient with either at the time.In my camera bag
I used to carry a normal photographer's bag and tripod with extra lighting equipment but I have recently been disabled. So I've resorted to taking photographs with my iPhone 12 Pro. It's lighter and more convenient for my new shoulder replacement. I still enjoy photography but now it even more just for me.Feedback
When out-and-about just look up, look where you normally wouldn't, look further down the road and you may just find something beautiful and unique.
