Location
I took this photo wondering around the streets of Milsons Point in Sydney. I happened across this alleyway and I just had to take a photo.Time
I'm not sure the exact time but it was taken midday.Lighting
I wanted to get away from the harsh lighting of midday light so I took to finding dark areas and this was just the perfect place!Equipment
I used a Nikon d5500 and a Sigma 10-20 to really exaggerate and capture the whole scene as the lines in this alleyway drew me into it.Inspiration
The lines of the buildings and super contrasty feel of the lighting captured my attention. I wanted a person in the photo to really show some scale so I waited until someone passed by.Editing
I was shooting jpg at the time so the photo was already quite processed. I lifted the saturation a (especially for the blue strip) and I downed the highlights to get dome detail back.In my camera bag
Now I have a Nikon D750, tamron 25-70, samyang 14 and a small tripod. These things practically live in my bag. I always have them on me!Feedback
Look for dark places during mid day. The light tends to be super harsh at this time so get away from it!
