Hopefully I can soon find the full resolution picture of this. This is just a instagram import and the quality bothers me.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in one of my favourite cities, Quebec City, specifically the 'Vieux Québec' district. I'd recommend anyone to come visit this beautiful city.

Time

I remember I took this while walking around the sidewalk on a Wednesday afternoon. There was something about how clean, and how much the colours popped on this small restaurant that made me want to take a quick picture.

Lighting

Not much, although after coming back from my trip, I went on Photoshop to see what I could do to this picture to make it unique. I decided to make part of the image black and white, keeping only the restaurant in colour. I think it does a beautiful effect.

Equipment

I used a Canon T4i to shoot this, using an 18-55 lens. Being only 14 back when I took this definitively limited me on equipment as it can be quite expensive.

Inspiration

Not much honestly, I enjoy street photography as a whole, and Quebec City is a great place to do so. I didn't really realize how beautiful the picture was until I got home and really went through all the photos from my trip.

Editing

As I mentioned earlier, I only did the Photoshop colour edit. Other than that this photo is unedited.

In my camera bag

Back when I took this, it was only my camera and lens. Now I carry a tripod (not in the bag!), a Canon 55-250mm lens, and a Canon 50mm f1.8 STM prime lens. I still have my 18-55 but plan on upgrading to a used 17-40mm L lens or a 10-18mm STM lens.

Feedback

I don't know much, but I can say that taking your time is important.
