Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at The Hotel Hermitage, in Monaco! A stained glass dome ceiling over the lobby was so beautiful and it was designed by Gustave Eiffel, who also designed the Eiffel Tower.Time
The time of day was late morning, and the sunlight just illuminated the stained glass and design of the domed ceiling.Lighting
Other than trying to capture the beauty of this spectacular stained glass ceiling , the sun was shining through. I confess to sneaking back repeatedly to gaze & wonder at the magnificence of it, both the architecture & stained glass, which seemed to keep changing as the sun moved throughout the day.Equipment
I used my Nikon camera for this picture.Inspiration
I was inspired upon entering this fabulous hotel and seeing this stunning sight, knowing we had a whole week to enjoy as we passed through on daily basis. I wanted to capture the feeling of awe that I felt upon seeing it the first time, and every time since, and perhaps, share it so others might be moved by it, as well.Editing
The photo is just as I captured it.In my camera bag
Other than my camera & an extra charged battery, that would be it.Feedback
Practice makes perfect! If something speaks to you, try to capture it. And it's a moment in time, that you can return to & enjoy!
