Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in Agia Triada Monastery in Akrotiri (Chania, Crete, Greece).

Time

This was taken on September 8, 2017 at 13:41.

Lighting

For greater contrast and short shadows, this photo was taken in the afternoon, when the sun was still high.

Equipment

camera: Sony nex-3n, lens: sony sel 16-55 f/3.5-5.6

Inspiration

The correct geometric shapes of the building and successfully incident light inspired me to take this picture.

Editing

Converted the image to black and white. Added contrast.

In my camera bag

For travel camera: Sony nex-3n, lens: sony sel 16-55 f/3.5-5.6 and sony sel 55-210 f/4.5-6.3. For the studio camera: Canon 1DS mark 2, lens: canon eos 28-70 f/2.8.

Feedback

When photographing at noon, the greatest drama can be achieved when shooting against the sun. When converting a picture to black and white it is better to work with each color separately.
