Behind The Lens

Location

I was in a restaurant in Lagos, Nigeria. I had to go to the bathroom, I saw this effect with a mirror in a recess, luckily I had my cell / mobile phone in my pocket, As it was evening I would never take a camera with me for my own safety.

Time

Early evening

Lighting

No special effects just the Mark One Eyeball !!

Equipment

As above.

Inspiration

I just saw the possible effect and I captured it

Editing

No exactly as I took it, I may have straightened and cropped it, a long time ago, 3 to 4 years ago

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 1200D Cleaning kit, 2 lens 55-255mm IS and 28-55mm IS A spare memory card A spare battery In the car a tripod but now with Image Stabilization, I only use the tripod in low light and B shots.

Feedback

Be brave try it, always leave the camera set on auto so you can take a quick shot, then after that if possible take the photographs in your own time knowing you have the first shot on the memory card. Now today you can just delete the photos not like with film, where I was limited by the number of frames and the time delay from taking the shot to actually seeing it, at least a week.
