Behind The Lens

Location

Salisbury has one of the most magnificent cathedrals in England, a prime example of the Early English Gothic style (built 1220-58). The splendid arcaded cloister is the largest in England (58m x 190ft square) and was added in the late 13th century. It was almost certainly a plain square of grass in the middle ages. There are actually two trees on the grass area in the centre of the cloister, but from an aesthetic point of view I only wanted one to appear in the picture so I lined it up with one hiding the other.

Time

It's in the afternoon around 3.30pm.

Lighting

It was a late spring afternoon and although I was shooting in, what seems to be quite bright sunlight the light quality was quite soft.

Equipment

The camera is a Canon 5D MkIII and the lens was a 14-24mm L Lens. I was hand holding the camera for this shot.

Inspiration

I had gone to visit the Cathedral to see the Earth display, Gaia, created by the sculptor, Luke Jerram. There are some pictures of that on my gallery. The cloister area has a corridor that runs alongside the cathedral and I took this as we were leaving. It was a spur of the moment idea as I was waiting for my friend who had visited the cafe.

Editing

Very little post editing. There was a small part of the wall that had some scaffolding around it, which I removed with Photoshop and that was it.

In my camera bag

I always have the usual collection of batteries and spare cards. In terms of hardware I have two main lenses both Canon L Lenses a 14-24mm and a 24-105mm. I also own a 50mm 1.8 and a Sigma 50-500mm. I only take the big lens on special occasions.

Feedback

Be prepared to go with a spur of the moment idea. Make sure you have practised many times to get away from using auto setting and you can adjust your camera quickly. Don't be shy.
