Geometry of Lviv

Lovely. I spent a week in Lviv in 1995 on business. Beautiful place, just starting to be restored at that time.

Behind The Lens

Location

New Year Festival period is a good cause for travelling. This time the route ran through Lviv. On the Eve of the 7-th of January a hard snowfall started and it really turned out to be a cold of -17oC! But, do not cancel the trip! By our arrival, the nature slightly had mercy on us and Lviv met us with frosty -11oC. We dressed warmly, and went to start on the favorite route of all tourists, the Market Square. The fun, joy and bright colors of Christmas were everywhere. We warmed ourselves with the unique Lviv coffee and prepared for a difficult rise to the Town Hall Tower - 65 meters! We were lucky - the frost has discouraged many tourists from the desire to storm the heights. We were climbimg ... What a miracle! What a splendid view of the ancient city: little snow covered everything all over the place with a magical snow-white veil! The city outskirts were barely visible in the white haze. The domes of numerous cathedrals, churches, amazing with their greatness, were there among the white sea of the the roofs. I looked down, and ... here it was - a shot! Snow with its magic white painted all the extra details of the landscape, muted all the bright colors, leaving only the beauty of lines and shapes! Here it was - "Geometry of Lviv!"

Time

At 2 p.m.

Lighting

The day was overcast, there was a slight snow.

Equipment

A few details: My Camera - Canon EOS 60D with lens Sigma AF 17-50mm f/2.8.

Inspiration

This photo is an impression of the landscape in light colors.

Editing

Postprocessing is an important element in the process of obtaining a quality photo. I'm using Photoshop CC.

In my camera bag

Usually in my photo bag is a wide-angle lens Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 and telephoto zoom Canon EF 80-200mm f/2.8 L. A tripod and a CPL filter are like an axiom.

Feedback

My advice: take pictures in any weather.
