Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken at a historical site called 'The Residency' in the city of Lucknow, India.

Time

It would probably be around 11 in the morning.

Lighting

This was in the month of December, the last day of December to be precise. The smog from the city and the surrounding areas created a thin veil. The Sunlight permeating through it was dull and had a strange hue. Since the site is predominantly in ruins, the diffused light somehow worked well.

Equipment

Nikon D7200, a 12-24 Nikkor lens with a polariser filter.

Inspiration

This wall looked like an even sheet, though there were columns in between. It was so precisely erected that they almost vanished, if not viewed from a different angle. It was rather intriguing...

Editing

Not much, basic adjustments of contrast, gamma and a little bit of hue correction

In my camera bag

Two Nikon bodies, a 35 prime and a 20mm prime...a 12-24, and a 70-300

Feedback

Any historical place is very interesting. They have a lot of stories, tales and mysticism associated with them. Finding a subject from an unusual perspective makes a photograph in such locations interesting.
