Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at a little, American-style restaurant in Taichung, Taiwan. It was one of the only restaurants that I have found that has vegan cheese. The decor of the restaurant is an eclectic mixture of American flags and vintage items. This typewriter is one such item.Time
It was dinner time, though the time of day didn't have any affect on the picture.Lighting
There wasn't anything special about the lighting. It was just standard, restaurant lights.Equipment
I used my Canon EOS Rebel T3i and its kit lens.Inspiration
I love vintage things. Old cars, typewriters, you name it. It feels like an interesting contrast as I take the picture of an time-tested object with my trusty digital camera.Editing
I increased the clarity and the contrast a bit, in addition to making the picture black-and-white.In my camera bag
I always carry around my Canon EOS Rebel T3i and its kit lens. If I know that I'm going out specifically for a photography outing, I might bring along a tripod and a remote shutter release.Feedback
Inspiration can come from the most unlikely places. Sometimes you've just wandered into a restaurant, looking for dinner, and you might find more than just a tasty meal. If photography is allowed, don't be afraid to take pictures of restaurant decor. Of course, bring your camera with you, whenever possible. The perfect shot could be hiding anywhere.
