Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at Crest Lawn Memorial Park in Atlanta. GA. I love cemeteries, especially old ones with lots of statuary and trees.Time
Overcast days can make for some pretty dramatic photos, and this was one of my last shots of the day as it was getting close to sunset.Lighting
I took several shots of this statue from different angles, but the little bit of light peeking through the clouds at this angle really added some extra texture and drama.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon T2i, with a 15-85mm lens, handheld.Inspiration
Standing at the foot of the statue looking up, I was struck by the emotion the figures evoked against the cloudy sky.Editing
All that was done to this photo in post was a little bit of cropping and straightening.In my camera bag
I travel pretty light when out and about, but my 15-85mm lens has become my go-to.Feedback
Always explore different angles and play around with how you frame shots. When out shooting, always look up, look down, and don't be afraid to get up high or down low to get the right angle.
