Behind The Lens
Location
This photo is taken at checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, Germany.Time
It is in the middle of a cloudy day.Lighting
The light was very soft because of the clouds removing the sharp differences between the light and the shadows.Equipment
At that time I had a nikonD7000 and a 35mm prime lens.Inspiration
I was inspired about the timeless feeling of the scene and the serious situation that it represents.Editing
I converted the image to black and white making a few adjustments to the contrasts and lighting, I also did som cropping.In my camera bag
Nowadays I go with a nikon D850 and a 35mm lens for street photography.Feedback
Try to feel the scene and try to leave out all objects that can draw away the viewers attention. In this particular photo I try to leave out all the banners that could take you away from the point in time that the scene represents.
