Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Istanbul, Turkey

Time

I woke up pretty early before sunrise and got to a roof top just in time for the sunrise when I shot this silhouette of the Blue Mosque.

Lighting

A sunrise nicely backlit blue mosque but a silhouette was a better picture that I had in mind.

Equipment

I shot this with the then new Canon 7D Mark II, Canon EF-S 18-135 mm lens.

Inspiration

The Blue Mosque, the Bosphorous water and every thing about Istanbul

Editing

I used LR to reduce some highlights and also the shadows. And also did some sharpening.

In my camera bag

I use both a Nikon and a Canon Camera and different lenses. This usually depends on what I am going to shoot that day ie., travel, nature etc.,

Feedback

Well practice, whenever you can...
