Behind The Lens
Location
This is the ceiling at Percival Lowell's mausoleum at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, ArizonaTime
This is shot at mid-day.Lighting
The opacity of the stained glass gives fairly neutral light throughout the daylight hours.Equipment
Camera: Canon EOS REBEL T2i Aperture: f/2.8 ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/50 Lens: Canon 24-70mm 2.8 ver.1Inspiration
I was visiting the observatory and was struck by the beautiful glass-workEditing
This photo is pretty RAW, no major work done. Just a couple adjustments for density.In my camera bag
I have Canon t2i, a set of L lenses, a Rolleiflex 3.5, a folder camera from the 1930s, and numerous lomo and polaroids.Feedback
The thing about this image was the framing. Rather than adjusting in camera RAW, I took numerous photos. It was hand held, and I was looking up at the ceiling, so pushing the shutter would alter my framing ever so slightly. I might have looked silly taking the same pic over and over again, but that's okay. Don't give up. Stay until you get the shot you want.
