Hello - i have just chosen your picture as winner in my challenge ARCHES.... i really liked it - maybe because we have similar ideas of composing or looking on pictures. i made a very similar photo in an abandoned church. i love the bw version :-)

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from the observation deck on top of the 30 Rockefeller Center Building in New York.

Time

This photo was taken in March around 9:00 in the morning. It was cool and windy, but the sun and clouds were beautiful.

Lighting

It just happened to be a gorgeous morning the wind was blowing the clouds, but the sun was shining bright the whole time.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon EOS Rebel T3. The aperture was f/20, the IOS was 500, and the exposure was 1/200.

Inspiration

I loved the arched decoration around the edge of the building and as I bent down to tie my shoe, I was inspired to shoot the Empire State Building through the arched edges of the building. When I saw the beautiful symmetry, I knew it was a great shot.

Editing

I used a red filter to make the clouds pop and then made it B&W so the contrast really showed.

In my camera bag

It really varies depending on where I'm going and what I'm shooting. In general I try to keep it simple; my camera and batteries.

Feedback

My advise would be look for unique angles without your camera first. Once you find something interesting, view it through your lens and then tweak the angles, light, and symmetry with minor adjustments.
