Behind The Lens

Location

Rome, Italy

Time

Taken at midday, however the mood makes it more like a sunset shot

Lighting

Originally there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the picture was washed out, I used a sky replacement to give more of a mood

Equipment

Nikon D70, stock 18-70 mm lens, handheld.

Inspiration

I absolutely love Roman history, this place epitomises what Ancient Rome was all about. The architecture is astounding not just for then, but even now

Editing

I replaced the sky, as there were no clouds at all.

In my camera bag

This was with my first SLR, I now have a D810, Tamron 15-30, tamron 70-200, and a nikkor 50mm prime 1.8. I also love long exposure and have the NISI filter set

Feedback

Even though this shot is pretty standard, move around, high and low, visit your location at multiple times of the day to see what lighting is bet suited to you.
