Behind The Lens

Location

Juneau Alaska

Time

Morning

Lighting

The clouds made it challenging to harness all of the different layers within this photo.

Equipment

iPhone 5s

Inspiration

I saw this old pump house outside my window when I was flying into Juneau and I really wanted to go see it. I thought the clouds would hamper the photo however, when I finally got there I believed it added to the old and corroded feeling of this place and made it a more interesting picture overall.

Editing

I really wanted to enhance the old and forgotten feeling of this place. Thus, after I had adjusted the colors, shadows, and sharpness I began playing with different sepia layers and affects. After a lot of experimenting it finally payed off.

In my camera bag

I do not have an equipment bag.

Feedback

Photos which you know you are going to do a lot of post-processing to (like this one was for me) you need to 'see' and 'feel' what you want the viewers to after you are completely done with the photo. That will be instrumental in how you compose the image. Also, when I want to add a sepia or b&w affect to my photos I find it to be better to add the affect close to the end of my post-processing procedure.
