Yes, It's the DAM. I go there and pay admission and never leave the stairs area! I spend hours there.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was shot inside the Denver Art Museum.

Time

It was taken about midday. The interior is very evenly lit, pretty much any time of day.

Lighting

I love the subtle shading that comes from the light bouncing around the different "levels" away from the windows. I imagine the light bouncing off all the differently angled walls like a superball with infinite bounce.

Equipment

This was shot handheld with a Canon 50D.

Inspiration

My wife and I would go to the museum, pay admission, and never even make it into the exhibits. Designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, the building avoided right angles and celebrated several mathematical formulae in its interior. I spent hours just wandering around the entry stairs. The way the light bounces around and the different angles the building gives you seem endless.

Editing

No real heroic post processing. Just a tuning of the tones to get the whites balanced on the edge of perception.

In my camera bag

I carry a Canon DSLR (50D right now), Tamron 18-55 2.8 lens, Canon 80-200 2.8, Canon 550EX flash and various extra batteries and attachments.

Feedback

This is a candid shot. The man was simply walking by while I was shooting. I was really happy with the way he was dressed but the point of including him was to give a point of reference, scale, and balance to the shot.
