Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Quito Ecuador at one of the very old catholic churches in the downtown area. I was on a tour of the church and found an out of the way staircase which led me to the roof.Time
This was taken late morning.Lighting
The lighting was actually well balanced even given the structures overhead.Equipment
This was one of several shots that I took. I started with a flash but after several test shots, the natural lighting yielded the best results as shown in this picture.Inspiration
I was on a tour and left the group to try and get a different and unique view. The buildings and the scenery in all of Ecuador are spectacular and this was just one of literally thousands of locations and yet another spectacular view from inside the city.Editing
Very little. I straightened out the picture a bit and used some minor adjustments in Aurora to bring the shot to life.In my camera bag
Nikon D750 with a variety of lenses, Canon EOS with a variety of lenses, filter packs, flashes, Sony Cybershot and tripods.Feedback
I'm a street photographer and look for all opportunities to get shots that few others can unless they also find the hidden places. Find those hidden places, ask for permission and if they say no, engage them personally in the shoot.
