Location
This photo was taken on the ground level of Fort Jefferson, in the Dry Tortugas. It was an old, decommissioned federal prison, famous for incarceration of Dr. Roger Mud. Mud was the doctor who set John Wilkes Booth's leg in the hours following Lincoln's assassination. He was wrongly convicted of being a part of an assassination conspiracyTime
Our boat ride from Key West to Fort Jefferson was gray and stormy. It was an overcast, windy mid-afternoon when we toured the Fort.Lighting
I was taken by the symmetry and texture of the brick in these arches, especially in the overcast existing light.Equipment
This was shot with my Canon PowerShot HX50 IS, handheld.Inspiration
The unforgiving symmetry of the brick arches were the impetus to take this image.Editing
Minimal post-processing was involved, limited to reducing brightness and increasing saturation.In my camera bag
I tend to travel light with my camera bag. I always carried my Canon PowerShot HX50 IS, spare batteries, and a lens cloth.Feedback
Be aware of camera angles, to assure symmetric margins on both sides, and a level view.
