Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken at the railway station in Dunedin, New Zealand.Time
We visited the railway station in the afternoon, it was a wet and cloudy day in summer, so we opted to stay indoors most of the time.Lighting
I was very much intrigued by the warm sunlight shining through the window at that time, as my wife walking down the staircase, I just took the shot from a birdseye perspective, as to frame the image, I deliberately included the nearby balustrade as well.Equipment
Nikon D-750, handheldInspiration
I always like photos with lines and patterns, the repetitions of the steps, and the wrought iron designs of the balustrade just told me this was a good spot to take a photo.Editing
I used Lightroom software to enhance the basic features, like contrast, sharpness, and noise reduction as I had to shoot with high ISO as it was indoors.In my camera bag
A wide-angle lens, a 50mm lens, and a few filters.Feedback
Staircases are enchanting structures to take fabulous photos, just pick a spot that magnifies the beauty of repetitions.
