Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken from the floor of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece of design and architecture.Time
This was taken during an afternoon when the museum wasn't very crowdedLighting
I just used the natural light inside the museum. I don't usually carry lighting as it's too heavy and bulky most of the time for what I enjoy shooting.Equipment
Canon Rebel XS-iInspiration
I love anything designed by FLW and this particular building is, IMHO, his masterpiece.Editing
No post-processing that I can remember. I'm not a fan of having to run every photo through photoshop or lightroom to maximize the image.In my camera bag
I like to keep it pretty simple. I've upgraded my camera since this photo was taken and I try to keep my bag as light as possible. I shoot with a Canon 6D Mk ii now and carry a 70-300mm zoom and a a 50mm wide angle to compliment my 24-105mm. I also keep my variable density filters in my bag, in case there's a waterfall!Feedback
If you see a perspective that's not like everyone else's, don't be afraid to go for it! Lay down on the floor, in the dirt, get up on that ladder or behind those flowers. It's art, there should be few rules!
