Behind The Lens

Location

Rubber Bowl in Akron Ohio. It is soon to be demolished under its new ownership.

Time

Mid afternoon on a very hot summer day.

Lighting

Time of day was mid afternoon. Shot at higher shutter speed but I do not recall the exact speed.

Equipment

I took this picture using my Nikon D7000 with a Nikor 50mm 1.8

Inspiration

This photo was just a fluke turning out so well. I was meaning to just capture the broken glass at first but when I got home to look at my pictures I noticed the blimp hanger in the back and it really brought the picture to life.

Editing

I brought up the "Structure" to 30% to really get the detail in the glass and about 5% raised the blacks and highlights.

In my camera bag

My camera bag carries my Nikon D7000 with my Nikor 50mm 1.8, 18-55mm 3.5 Nikon lense, 6.5mm Optika Fisheye (would not recommend) I also carry 2 35mm film cameras (Minolta SRT200 and Fujica ST701) Then a 120mm film camera (Yashica A)

Feedback

Even if you do not think the picture is worth the shot, take it anyways.
