Behind The Lens

Location

Beijing, Forbidden City entrance.

Time

midday.

Lighting

Typical Beijing overcast day.

Equipment

Contax G2 film body with 90mm f2.8 lens.

Inspiration

Are you kidding? Everyone tries to take this photo, and everyone gets run off....but I was ready, willing, and able to take my chance. And I didn't get arrested!

Editing

Film scanned as accurately as possible to film original. No post needed.

In my camera bag

Small camera bodies (Contax G film in the old days, now Fuji XE) for maximum portability.

Feedback

Take chances, act fast, and be prepared for consequences!
