Location
This is the tunnel entrance to the Lost Sea caves outside of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It just struck me as an interesting perspective shot before getting into the caves.Time
I took this in the afternoon, but, as you can see, that had no impact on the shot.Lighting
Dim lighting...Equipment
I used my Sony a7r2 with the 24-240mm lens; nothing else with this one.Inspiration
I wanted to get a sense of depth with the tunnel and get a little different perspective in the shots from this holiday. Honestly, it was also a "test" shot to make sure I was happy with settings in the already low light conditions.Editing
Post was pretty easy with this one, just converting to monochrome and boosting the clarity in LightroomIn my camera bag
Most of the time, I just have extra batteries and a memory card; sometimes a flash and the 50mm; but generally I travel light and just use my "walking lens" for every bit of performance I can.Feedback
Just look for the interesting where most people see the mundane; a lot of times, there's something cool if you just change your viewpoint... and don't be afraid to look a bit of a fool while experimenting with getting your shots.
