Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the National Archives building in Washington, D.C.

Time

Mid-morning

Lighting

Natural lighting.

Equipment

Sony Nex-6 with a 17-55 lens, handheld.

Inspiration

Washington, D.C. is obviously a wonderful city to take photos of spectacular architecture. I spent several days roaming the city.

Editing

The only post processing was some tweaking with the iphone sliders.

In my camera bag

I carry a shoulder bag with my Sony Nex-6, 17-55mm, 14mm, 50-200mm and fish eye lenses, a few extra memory cards and batteries as well as some cleaning materials.

Feedback

It's always such a challenge to take photos of iconic buildings and locations and try to get something a little different. Looking up is often a unique view. The huge straight lines of the pillars at this site just seem to make this point of view more dramatic.
