Location
This is a public phone station at street level in the old town of Sienna/Italy.It was rather surprising to find this long modern corridor just in the midle of century old houses and palacios.Time
With that artificial light the time of the day had absolutely no importanceLighting
Plain "technical lighting "of public spacesEquipment
Nikon D700, 20 years old Nikkor 24mm-2.8 Ai !Inspiration
The simplicity of forms and colors and symmetry of the place was a very stunning contrast with the medieval character of the city.Editing
The shot needed very little post processing: cleaning of 2 small pieces of rubbish on the floor, adjusting white balance, adding very little contrast and saturation. The opposition of red on white was already present, I just had to open my eyes which is the only piece of advice I can give.In my camera bag
Nikon and me is a very long story, now it's the already old D700, that older 24mm, an almost unknown AF Nikkor85-135mm , a 60mm Makro-Nokkor and a 70-200 AF Nikkor to get distant details in landscapesFeedback
Th best way in my opinion to bring back home nice photos is to open your eyes and forgetting all the stereotypes:focus on the light, the lines and the colors.
