Location
The Photo is taken in Copenhagen, Denmark at a building that at the time, 2020, was called 'Axel Towers'.Time
Photographing in mid-day sun on a very warm day.Lighting
No artificial light (flash) was used as enough sunlight reflected down the building and I just raised the ISO a bit for the shadow parts.Equipment
My camera at the time I took this photo was the Sony A7R4 and to get the entire thing in the frame I used the Sony 12-24G lens on a tripod.Inspiration
The curves and form of the building itself and the difficulty of getting a composition I was pleased with. I took a lot of photos from different angles and viewpoints before deciding for the one in this photo.Editing
This photo is one of the photos I have used the most time on editing. There was a lot of distracting spots and markings on the building from the weather and general wear, that I needed to remove. Subsequently a lot of D&B to get the attention of the viewer directed to the places in the photo I find interesting myself.In my camera bag
My camera is the Sony A1 (Sony, please bring that firmware update you owe us!) and my lenses are the 16-35mm GM, the 24-105mm G, the 90mm macro lens and the 200-600 mm all from Sony. Tripod and tripod head are from Gitzo and magnetic filters from Kaze.Feedback
Scouting, preparation and curiosity in the correct blend. I had visited this building a lot of times as a normal guest and has always found it to be exiting from an architectural viewpoint and then tried to look at it with 'a photographer’s eye'. Trying out a lot of compositions to get the one I feel the most for is also part of my normal process and that was certainly something I had to do to get this shot.
