Behind The Lens

Location

At the Cistern Basilica in Istanbul, Turkey.

Time

It is underground so doesn't really matter. Was around noon time.

Lighting

The long exposure was critical.

Equipment

The was on a Nikon D7000 with a gorilla tripod.

Inspiration

It is very hard to capture this kind of light in a room that is as dark as a cave. So the challenge was all the inspiration that I needed.

Editing

I brightened up the shadows and did some sharpening.

In my camera bag

Just Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 18-200 lens. That is it.

Feedback

The longer exposure the better.
