Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This cemetery is where Eva Peron ("Evita") is buried.Time
The photo was taken late afternoon. It was a great time to visit the cemetery and view the spectacular monuments and history.Lighting
The daylight was sharp but the soft lighting in the shadows adds to feel, mode and colour in the photo.Equipment
Handheld with my Canon EOS 60D camera.Inspiration
I enjoy taking photos around the world of spectacular doors and architecture. The neglect of this doorway inspired the feeling of abandonment and antiquity. It is a suitable representation of a spectacular and renowned cemetery that tells an interesting story.Editing
I adjusted orientation of the door, tone and colour to ensure the photo is balanced and highlights the door.In my camera bag
My go-to lens is the Canon EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS. The quality of the photos are exceptional in multiple conditions.Feedback
Look for interest in buildings and architecture. Find something unique, whether it be patterns, colour, or character such as the age and weathered paint in this photo. Consider "what is in the photo that interests you?" and ensure you capture that predominantly in the picture. Look for something unexpected, i.e., the door in this photo was interesting and different than predominantly looking a headstones, statues and plaques which we often see in cemetery photos.
