Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my hometown Ypres, at the memorial of the fallen during World War I. They built the Meningate after the war was ended to commemorate all the soldiers from The British Commonwealth.

Time

It was already in the evening after the Last Post was blown at 8 pm on an evening in may this year during the covid 19 period. So there were no tourists

Lighting

The setting sun took care of the beautiful light and brought the nice shadows of the pillars of the Meningate.

Equipment

I used my Canon M3 with a 15-45 mm lens, which I just had bought to try if a system camera was worth to be my next camera. I didn't use tripod or flash

Inspiration

The light that brought the shadow. At first it felt pity that I couldn't get straight, but when I saw this angle, I was suprised it worked out so well, much better than I thought.

Editing

Yes I made it a bit clearer in LR, that's all.

In my camera bag

Normally I take my Canon 600D with the Canon 18-135 mm. But now I wanted to try the system camera

Feedback

Just try it, even if you think it wouldn't be what you first thought was.
