Behind The Lens
Location
It is an old historical building in the center of our city, called Aleksandrovskaya manor. It was a little bit dangerous, plaster is falling there from ceiling and walls. The aim of the photoshoot was to bring attention to a cultural monument, which is abondoned and forgotten by local authorities.Time
It is about 15.00, bright light.Lighting
There are two sources of light, both are natural: from the room from behind and from the window from the right.Equipment
This was shot on Nikon d700 + nikkor 50 1.4 g. I do 70% shots on this pair.Inspiration
I love my city, but it makes disappointed because of the state of buildings and roads. Not so long ago I made a project about roads called "I drown in you, Saratov". This is a new step about the beautiful building, which can be a center of art and very attractive for tourists. But noone is concerned about it.Editing
I made it brighter and cleaned some garbage which didn't notice during the shoot. Some correction of colour and contrast is also used here.In my camera bag
Of course Nikon d700 is my love and also two lenses nikkor 50 1,4 and nikkor 24-120 4 for wide angle. First is for fairytales, second is for anything else that can't be done with the first. Besides I like, how it catches contralightFeedback
Watch the light, gather a command. Don't be afraid to do, even if you think you are not good enough. If there is no shoots, there's no progress.
