Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi fortress. The fortress was based on the remains of the Tyras, ancient Greek city on the northern coast of the Black Sea. The photo was taken at the last third yard of the fortress inside the tower. There was a lot of mosquitos inside the tower, and a lot of tourist. I had to catch a moment when I was alone.

Time

The photo was taken in the morning at 9:48 PM June 11, 2014.

Lighting

This photo is selfi. and I known nothing about HDR and digital blending at that time. Therefore best decision was made black and white photo.

Equipment

This was shoot with Olympus OM-D E-M1 and Samyang fisheye lens 7.5mm without flash from Giottos tripod.

Inspiration

I know this place from my childhood. I was there a lot of time. When I bought my fisheye lense, I thought that it would be great idea test it there.

Editing

Here I used Lightroom with general color correction and converting to BW. But sometimes I use Photoshop and love RAYA PRO and Google Nik plugins.

In my camera bag

I usually have in my bag my Olympus E-M5 II with best three PRO lenses 12-40 f2.8, 40-150 f2.8 and 7-14 f2.8 from Olympus and time to time Panasonic DG Summilux 25mm f1.4 and Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro. I have flash with me of course and mini tripod manfrotto and bag with LEE Filters.

Feedback

Don't be lazy inspite of weather! )) Make more photo, remember about golden hours for photo.
