Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Opelika, Alabama.Time
This photo was taken on a walk around downtown one afternoon with my husband.Lighting
All lighting in this photo is natural afternoon sunlight.Equipment
The only equipment used to take this photo was my Canon T3 with an 18-55mm IS II lens.Inspiration
After several years of passing this Mustang slowly decaying, I decided I wanted a photo. It sat alone at an abandoned auto body shop for many years, the day after this photo was taken the car disappered.Editing
There was minimal post editing with this photo, a little sharpening is all it needed.In my camera bag
On an average day in camera bag I carry my Canon camera, two to three different lenses, a flash, a dozen or so memory cards, a micro fiber cleaning cloth, and a small, but bright flashlight, which is a necessity when urban exploring!Feedback
I am a self taught photographer, and I've always had a passion for really great photos and views. One of my hobbies has always been urban exploring so I decided one day to combine the two passions and found an entire community online doing the same thing. I personally think angle makes or breaks the picture. I would suggest taking as many photos as possible from many angles, you will be surprised at what switching positions will do for your photo. Go high, go low, experiment. You'll never know if you don't try, if I can learn on my own so can you!
