Location
The photo was taken behind the main building (Honden) of the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto.Time
This was taken around 8:30 am in Winter. Not too many tourists during this period of the year and mainly at this hour.Lighting
At this time of the day, the light was barely enough to get the shot I wanted, which explains the high ISO (1100).Equipment
Nothing special, just my Nikon D810 and the 24-70 mm f2.8 set at 24 mm. Unfortunately, I didn't have a tripod and the shot was handheld.Inspiration
I live in Kyoto and I visit this place with a camera at least once or twice a month. Also, it is probably one of the most photographed spot in Kyoto and in Japan.Editing
The tone had to be readjusted -- nothing fancy, just a regular adjustment (today, I would maybe consider trying some HDR or the like...). I also boosted the saturation of the orange/red.In my camera bag
I often only take a camera and one lens, a zoom. Depending on the subject, it is either the 24-70 mm f2,8 or the 70-200 mm f2.8. Sometimes, for a special event, I take a second camera body and several other lenses (prime), and eventually a flash and a tripod or monopod.Feedback
This spot is just too popular -- just try to be there when there is no-one on the trail for the time of taking your shot.
