Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Kenai Alaska. Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, is a Russian Orthodox church. This one was built in 1895.

Time

This was taken at 12:30pm.

Lighting

The noon sun through icicles is what made this possible.

Equipment

Nikon D300s.

Inspiration

I had been photographing this church for about 10 years and could never get anything I was excited about until this one. On a clear winter day I was sitting in the snow photographing icicles and then there it was. The shot I had been looking for all these years, photographing the church through the icicles.

Editing

Did some post processing in Aperture and SilverEfex Pro. If I was to revisit processing this, it would be done in CaptureOne Pro.

In my camera bag

I am an Fujifilm X-Series shooter now. I mostly carry a Fujifilm X-T4, Fujinon XF8-16mm f/2.8, Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8, and Fujinon XF100-400mm f/4-5.6. Other accessories include a Gitzo tripod, Godox flash, LumeCube lights, and foldable reflectors.

Feedback

Don't chase after different camera angles with how we feel about the subject. Photograph out of curiosity for and how the subject feels about us.
