Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken in Annecy France and is the back of an apartment building that sits on a canal in the middle of the city.Time
The picture was taken around 4:00 in the afternoon on a cold and cloudy day in February.Lighting
While I was trying to figure out the lighting given that there were some lights from across the canal which lit the scene, the clouds opened up a bit and I was able to get a glimpse of blue sky reflecting in the windows in addition to the city lights.Equipment
Sony Cybershot. I was in the Region for other business and was unable to carry any more equipment.Inspiration
This is one of the richest areas of France and this building stood out of the crowd of other ornate buildings. This building was originally a medieval jail and the canal was really a moat around the building to keep the prisoner in. The front of the building was completely renovated and the apartments inside the building were all beautifully renovated. A stark contrast to what the back of the building looks like in the picture.Editing
Minor editing and framing.In my camera bag
Nikon D750 with multiple Nikkor lenses, Canon EOS with multiple lenses and a Sony Cybershot. I also carry a Tripod, flashes and multiple filtersFeedback
