Behind The Lens

Location

This image was captured in rural Tennessee, USA.

Time

I found this isolated church on the hill and captured this image at 4:38 pm.

Lighting

The day was overcast, but bright.

Equipment

This image was captured with an Olympus E-5 fitted with a Zuiko 14-54 mm lens with an effective focal length of 35 mm. Camera was tripod mounted and exposure was 1/13 sec at f/22 with an ISO of 125.

Inspiration

We were on a road trip in-route to North Carolina when I spotted this church.

Editing

Post processing amounted to a little color pop.

In my camera bag

I am currently using Olympus E-5's or an E-3 and Zuiko lens's.
