Location
This was taken in Paris, France. The cathedral of Notre Dame sits on the Île de la Cité, the heart of Paris.Time
This was shot mid day, with rather flat lighting. I thought it was well suited for black and white due to the drab colors.Lighting
Flat light doesn't mean you shouldn't shoot, just be creative!Equipment
Sony NEX-5, 16mm lensInspiration
I have seen this cathedral in so many photos, I wanted to put my own unique twist on it!Editing
Although this one looks like a long exposure, I actually created that effect in Photoshop. I also adjusted contrast and converted to BW.In my camera bag
D600, lenses covering 16mm to 200mm, filters.Feedback
Even if the lighting is flat you can come up with a cool shot. Use your creativity to make something unique!
