Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo inside a mall called Melbourne Central in Melbourne, Australia.

Time

It was a hot Australian summer day, the sun was shining bright through the glass ceiling and as a result creating the curvy shadows on the brick tower. I stood as close to the bottom of the tower as I could and snapped the shot on December 7, 2013 at 2:31pm.

Lighting

There was a lot of natural light coming through the glass ceiling and into my camera lens, therefore I had to adjust exposure by narrowing the aperture, increasing shutter speed and reducing ISO.

Equipment

I used my one and only Nikon D7000 with my kit-lens Nikkor 18-105mm. I love this camera!

Inspiration

I had seen this amazing structure a few times during shopping trips and always admired it. The contrast and the shadows that the circular glass ceiling and the brick tower present is just beautiful. I had to capture it.

Editing

I shoot in RAW format and this enables me to have more control over the final look of my photos. Using Lightroom, I was able to correct exposure and reduce highlights. I decided to convert the photo to black and white just because the shadows on the brick looked better that way. Adobe Lightroom is my best friend!

In my camera bag

I am a light-traveller when it comes to photography. As a mother of two young children, I have other things I have to carry when I am out and about. This will probably change in the future, but for now my preference is to have my small camera bag that holds my Nikon D7000 with lens attached.

Feedback

When pointing up towards a bright summer sky to shoot any subject, have a narrow aperture to let in as little natural light as possible and a fast shutter speed, that way your photo will not be over-exposed. Also, shoot in RAW format so that you can have much more control over the look of your photo. Finally, practice, practice, practice.
