Behind The Lens
Location
That's coming from Germany. A very industrial place called Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord in Germany. An amazing place showing the possibilities of the human mind and technical thought. It is an old steel mill that processed and supplied steel in the past. Currently, this place is inscribed on the World Heritage List. It is freely available and there is no fee. You can visit everything on your own. An incredible amount of concrete and steel structures. A paradise for photographers of industrial objects. After all, it is a magical place in every way. A real industrial reserve.Time
It is best to visit in the morning and evening hours. Place is open all the time, so there is no risk it will be closed. Here, for this one, I woke up really early morning at 2:00 a.m., to reach this beautiful place at 5:15 a.m., waited for the sunrise at 5:35 a.m., and spend such a nice time there, and what is most important get such registered moments through my camera. The view from the towers is the most impressive. There is an amazing view from them, a panorama of Duisburg.Lighting
It was the beginning of the day, the day was raising and incredibly mesmerizing to me, especially all the industrial stuff there. There is nothing particular here about lighting, finding the best spot, the best set-up for the camera, and shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot ... as many times you wantEquipment
Nothing special inside. I am not professional. So, I use one set: NIKON D810 + Sigma 24-70 Art version. That's enough.Inspiration
A very specific industrial place I would say, I love a lot. Really an amazing place showing the possibilities of the human mind and technical thought. It is an old steel mill that processed and supplied steel in the past. Currently, this place is inscribed on the World Heritage List. It is freely available and there is no fee. You can visit everything on your own. An incredible amount of concrete and steel structures. A paradise for photographers of industrial objects. After all, it is a magical place in every way. A real industrial reserve.Editing
Anything that I did here was empowering the colors of this beautiful valves and amazing industrial place as best as possible.In my camera bag
Well, I use my second fellow during my travels means Thule backpack. Nothing special inside. I am not professional. So, I use one set: NIKON D810 + Sigma 24-70 Art version. That's enough. Of course not forgetting about the snacks.Feedback
Wherever you go take the camera with you. They are saying that we have golden hours to make the pictures. Maybe, but I do not stick to this so often. Simply, try to make as many shots as possible at every time of the day. You do not need a sunny day. Cloudly one is even more interesting. Night as well. You do not need any famous places to make an interesting shot, the most interesting ones are close by. Believe me. Think about the shot before. Living in the same place for some time it is very easy to know when or what happens with the scene you see every day, every night. What crop, or position you are going to use. You can easily check it each day and use it for the best shot. That will make your life easier. Do not give up, never. If not this time maybe next. Do not lose the opportunity. In this kind of condition, you will have another chance every day, every night. And remember that's not equipment is making you a photographer. That's you, only you. Limited equipment is making you more creative. So, go, take the shots and share them with others.
