Location

I took this photo from a side street in Bethnal Green, central London.

Time

It was about 1pm in the afternoon when I took this photo.

Lighting

It was a bright day so I underexposed, to balance out the highlights and preserve the cast shadows.

Equipment

I used a Canon power shot G10, attached to an aerial mast extended to about 15 Meters.

Inspiration

I was initially taking some roof photos for a building survey. I realised I was in position, for a good view of the city's skyline. When I swung into position for the skyline. With London's prominent buildings on show. By chance I was positioned to line up with the winding path that runs through the park and heads of in the direction of the skyline.

Editing

I did do some to convert to black and white, and make some other minor adjustments to shadows, I can't remember exactly. I would have used the photos app on my old Asus notebook.

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Panasonic GH4 with a 14-140mm and a 25mm f1.4. the Canon G10, a DJI Phantom 3 pro. A tripod and my Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 camera phone, oh and filters 10 stop and three graduated neutral density filters, and a polarising filter. Oh and also a Nissin i40 flash.

Feedback

Go against the grain and expose more left than to the right for histogram. And think rule of thirds and leading lines and/or curves. Also look for an elevated perspective.
