Behind The Lens

Location
This is the elevator to shopping center, Liverpool One taken from street level.
Time
It was a fresh dull day during autumn in Liverpool. As I remember, it was a Sunday morning and I was being shown around by my daughter who was studying there at John Moores University. I asked her "whoat's in there", pointing to a flight of stairs? It turned out to be the entrance to a new shopping center and when I entered the stair-well there was behind it this escalator and I was mesmerised by it's symetry.
Lighting
Lighting was a mix of overcast difuse natural light and some spill over from inside the building of flourecent lights, Perfect.
Equipment
Hand-held Nikon D3200 with kit lens set to Wide
Inspiration
I was running out of whole buildings to shoot as there were so many in Liverpool and was hoping for something quirky. The combination of textures: marble and brushed stainless steel reflecting light from all angles but with little colour screamed B&W to me which happens to be my favourite method too.
Editing
I changed little from the shot original and only played with the contrast a little as I like spontaneous photography. This I'm sure comes from my years as a film photographer.
In my camera bag
Nikon DSLR and a couple of zoom lenses. Unlees I know I'm going to be shooting the sea or anything more dynamic.
Feedback
I try to take care when preparing for a shot like this. Again this is a leftover from my days shooting film. I try to compose my shots very seldom without braketing too much and try to shoot the finished item straight from the camera just as I did when using masses of expensive rolls of film and processing was not an option and I guess old habits die hard.
