Hallof Tranquility, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA.Time
This was taken in the late afternoon, early evening.Lighting
What I really liked about this shot was the way the sun was coming through the columns. I really liked the shadows casted by the columns and the cover of the portico. I shot this in color as well, but the B&W really brings out the contrasts.Equipment
I use a Canon EOS T3i. This was taken without a tripod. I used a EFS 18-55 mmInspiration
I really liked the depth the hall gave to the picture. All the columns and the dimensional feel it provided.Editing
I typically use Picasa for post-processing. This photo was cropped and framed utlizing the software and sharpened along with changing color to B@W.In my camera bag
I typically carry several lens: 18-55, 75-300 mm, 50mm, Macro lens and my telephoto 170-500mm. I carry a wide assortment of filters as well for a variety of lighting situtations. I also carry cleaning equipment, batteries, and spare lens coversFeedback
I think first and foremost in order to take a photo like this, one must wait. I can attest that I have little paticence, but photography has taught me to the value of patience. Set the photo up. I remember this shot as there were a lot of people about, so waiting for the right moment without people in the shot was a bit nerving. Utilize natural light to your advantage in nearly every shot you take. Although I do utilize a flash occasionally, it is not the first thing I grab in low light. Camera's today have a multitude of settings and you can compensate for light if you know who to set up the camera and the shot. The main concept on this shot is aperture. f/4.5 - f/5.6 is fairly wide and will allow ample light to hit the sensor. I would also suggest taking several shots and adjust the aperture, and focal lengths to get what you want.
