Location
In December, at the Temple of Literature, Hanoi, Vietnam.Time
Mid morning.Lighting
The weather was overcast, offering low, quite soft light – ideal for capturing detail within shadow.Equipment
A Nikon D750, a 24-120 F4 lens. For this shot the zoom setting was 112mm, ISO 100, F11 and shutter 1/30 sec.Inspiration
There were thousands of seemingly identical tiles, but when you looked more closely there was variation within order. I really liked the quite subtle decorative patterns on every single tile.Editing
Adjustments in Camera RAW to bring out the details and texture in the image.In my camera bag
I love the mountains, so as little as possible - at present a Nikon D750 camera body, a Nikkor 24-120 small zoom and the 55-300 bigger zoom, a spare battery and beaten up lightweight tripod - good for hiking. If I'm going for a summit then it's even less - a compact Lumix TZ 220 with mirrorless through the lens digital view finder, full manual operation and RAW file capture - absolutely great when you still want to control your photography but need to keep moving and can't afford to have stuff hanging off you.Feedback
In a temple there are usually obvious subjects to photograph, but sometimes the real gems hide within the detail. Keep an eye out!
