Overall very pleasing image. The natural light falling into this image contributes to the overall creativity. The DOF and perspective are great. The deteriorating walls and the restorive work is wonderful. ~ Henry

Wow-za, look at the depth! The people are shrinking! I hope the cells are larger than the doors. I wouldn't pick-pocket anywhere near that place, you've captured the mystery & spookiness. What really did happen here? Hmmm Kim

I just love the depth of the shot and the use of light. I am not technically minded so the only comments I feel I can add relate to the soul of the image. It is so easy here to feel a part of the image. It draws you in superbly and you could so easily be standing on the balcony looking down. It's great. Roy

Eastern State Penitentiary?
See all

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Eastern State Penitentiary in my home town, Philadelphia. I love that Philly has such unique buildings and architecture to shot great urban scenes.

Time

This was shot during the early afternoon while taking my girlfriend on a self guided tour of ESP.

Lighting

With the construction going on the lighting was a little bit different than the usually dark interior which makes it a little more dramatic.

Equipment

At the time I was using a simple Nikon point and shoot learning how to frame shots.

Inspiration

I love this place and have been taking photos there for a while now.

Editing

No, at this time I was using my point and shoot and didn't have any editing software

In my camera bag

Now, a canon M50.

Feedback

Sorry, really don't. I'm an amateur who likes to take pictures. Not very good at understanding technical aspects. But I feel sometimes that gets in the way. Don't worry about the tech just shoot and have fun.
