Behind The Lens

Location

London UK

Time

Early evening...Rush Hour

Lighting

I used ambient lighting, which was provided by the artificial lighting at the underground station and from the bridge behind.

Equipment

Canon DSLR and Zoom

Inspiration

I am so happy that this I'm age has at last received some positive criticism. I loved the diagonals and the focus on the man. It reminded me of the book "The spy who came out of the cold". It has a dark and mysterious atmosphere about it.

Editing

I did some dodging and burning and some sharpening after turning g the image i to mo chrome from colour.

In my camera bag

On this occasion I was doing some street photography, and I always travel light. I carried a body with one lens and a spare battery.

Feedback

Keep you eyes peeled, image such as this appear suddenly. I was with several other photographers on this outing, but I was the only one to capture this image.
