Location
I took this photo on my first Photo walk at a famous historical monument of Delhi (India) Called Sufdarjung's Tomb.Time
It was a mid day (noon) time photograph. but the sun was covered with clouds. it was getting dark in the middle of the day. just before that i took this photograph.Lighting
Lighting was all natural. It was monsoon time. So the sun was behind the clouds. in the middle of the day it looks like that in a few min the night will fall.Equipment
Nikon D3100 camera, 18-70 mm lens & thats it no other equipment i used.Inspiration
It was my first time when i was looking at another beautiful tomb other than Taj Mahal. It was in delhi and i didn't knew about it even while living in Delhi for a long time. The architecture, use of stones, the symmetry all these things inspired me.............. It's a beautiful place. now i often go there to find some new angle to shoot it. to discover some more things about it.Editing
A little bit of color correction, adjusted a little contrast. that's it........In my camera bag
When this picture was taken i had only Nikon D3100, and a 18-70 mm AF-S lens. But now i carry Nikon D5100, 18-55 & 55-200 mm lens, Lens cleaning kit, A UV filter, Battery Charger & a Lens hood. Tripod is also to be mentioned but its not all the time i used to take it with me.Feedback
In monsoon when there are clouds covering the sky, you'll find it more beautiful than normal days. there will be birds also you will find to make it look more beautiful. There are so many angles you will find interesting. the symmetry of the architecture can be a key for the photograph.
