Location
The picture was shot in the wider area of Velehrad Basilica in Czech Republic.Time
It was late afternoon about 6 p.m.Lighting
It was sharp sun light in the late sunny afternoon at app. 6 p.m..Equipment
Picture was shot with very first full frame camera Canon EOS 5D with Canon EF 28-300 mm/f3.5-5.6 lens without flash from tripod.Inspiration
I was inspired with sharp lines and magic geometry created in combination with architecture and shadows creating vertical, horizontal and oblique lines combined with smaller lines of bricks and decent arcs. It was easy to find proper point where to place camera.Editing
I use Lightroom but only for basic processing - transfer from RAW to DNG and then export to JPG. There was only basic post-process small modification of sharpness and contrast and conversion into BW.In my camera bag
I use my old full frame Canon EOS 5D, one universal Canon EF 28-300 / f3.5-5.6 lens and one basic standard Canon EF 24-105 lens, tripod, cleaning tools - small brush, cloth, flash, spare batteries, UV filters. Sometimes I use also very cheap Canon 50mm/f1.8 lens especially in dark places or in the evening.Feedback
It is difficult to give some specific advise. The main thing is to see the picture in right way. Sometimes it is special shadow, or light, contrast created with small figure in contrast to great cathedral or mountain - everything is inside the head, All other steps and procedures is simple routine and experience.
