Location
The photograph was taken in Glasgow in front of a mural and i was determined to stay all day if i had to until someone came along and stood in front of it. As it happens withing 5 minutes a lady came strolling up and stopped to light a cigarette and i got the picture i wanted without having to wait all day.Time
Mid-afternoon is always a great time to do street photography and i was lucky that it was a dry and bright day. That doesn't happen very often in Scotland...Lighting
Thankfully the sun remained shining and the rain stayed away.Equipment
Canon 400D on a medium ISO level. I usually shoot in black & white but i always have the camera set to a colour automatic setting in case of candid moments where i don't want to be taking too much time setting everything up.Inspiration
A lot of the time i see the picture i want to take before it evolves and in this case i saw a great shot which was only lacking one ingredient - a person.Editing
I don't do any post editing apart from cropping. I believe in staying true to the picture i see so that everyone else can see it as i came to see it.In my camera bag
Accompanying me on my photography journey 24-7 is a Canon 400D. It's got to be about 12 years old but it's never let me down and the only thing it lacks is an indicator to remind me that i have left the lens cap on...Feedback
Always be prepared to take photographs at any moment as life happens at any moment. And trust your instincts.
