Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken a few years back in Oxford, UK. It was - very British - a very dreary day, but to me those are often the best conditions. Dramatic skies, sometimes some rays of sun bursting through.Time
It was around noon. First stop on route towards Wales. I had only little time to wander through the city. Thankfully there were very few people around so I didn't have to wait long times for people to get out of my frame and I could capture the grandness of the building standing out in the best possible way.Lighting
The light was pretty bleak which I think is sometimes the best condition to turn an image in into black and white. The b&w, the frontal view and the lack of hard shadows emphasises the monumental appearance of the building very nicely I think.Equipment
Taken with my old Nikon with 16-85 lens. 16mm ƒ3,5Inspiration
The building itself of course. It towers over the neighbouring buildings and reigns the big square with its grand 18th century neo-classic architecture. I love the gothic atmosphere of it.Editing
Yes. Of course. Always. For starters turning it into black and white. Then stitching two shots - bottom and top - together. Push the contrasts and darken the whole image carefully to create this dark and gloomy atmosphere without losing detail of focus.In my camera bag
Nowadays, a Nikon full frame camera, a wideangle lens (17-35), NDG filter (essential!). Also I shoot almost always in bracketing mode (2 shots, 1 stop darker)Feedback
Oxford is a beautiful place with loads of amazing spots to capture. It can however be very crowded but in my experience if you avoid holidays and rush hours you can still find 'alone' with the city and its architectural grandness.
