Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Castle In The Clouds, the Lucknow Estate in Moultonborough, NH, USA. The mansion was built in 1913 and has been restored with period furnishings and pieces from the family and representative of the times.

Time

It was a cloudy day after many days of rain. We were grateful that the mansion was open for visitors. The light was diffused.

Lighting

The original photo was in color, but in processing I wanted to give the feeling of going back in time to the gentility of the early 1900s. The sepia processing gave the feeling that I was looking for.

Equipment

The best camera is the one you have with you; I wasn't able to use my Canon, so I used my iPhone 14.

Inspiration

I was attracted to the well-planned and laid out room that effectively brought the viewers 100 years into the past.

Editing

I used Snapseed to post process to achieve the sepia toned "days gone by" feeling that I felt at the mansion.

In my camera bag

In my camera bag... lenses, diffuser, camera, and a chocolate bar. My friend parked her car and neglected to bring the photo bag so I used my trusty iPhone 14.

Feedback

Amazing things are everywhere. Always have your eyes open and never be afraid to take some photos - enjoy seeing!
