Behind The Lens

Location

Taken in Manchester's St. PETER'S SQUARE

Time

This was taken around 4.45pm on my way back to get the train as theres less tourists and other photographers about

Lighting

Being in a sheltered corner of a wide open square the light really can change depending on time of day, not forgetting the weather of course

Equipment

Just my trusty Canon 1300d from which I am in desperate need of an upgrade. I usually have my 24mm lens on when in this area but it could also have been my 18-55mm kit lens

Inspiration

I've taken so many photos of these phone boxes over the years but it can be quite difficult to get a good one with nobody in the shot ad it's such a busy place. I also take them, and will continue to as they are quickly disappearing from our streets

Editing

The obvious colour block in Snapseed and highlighting the wall

In my camera bag

My 1300d with 24mm, 50mm and sometimes my 18-55mm kit lens. I also always carry my little Canon G7 X that I've had about 7/8 years

Feedback

Wait until later in the afternoon or early morning when theres less people around
