First, thank you for the feature. This photo is of the iconic Duke Energy building in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina.Time
It was approaching twilight. The city lights had just turned on.Lighting
Nature’s perfect lighting featuring one of my favorite structures in this city. It was a striking pose and seconds I couldn’t ignore.Equipment
(Smiling). My trusty IPhone 8 at the time.Inspiration
DE stood magnificent from this angle. She (yes, I said she) posed and I quickly captured. Irresistible!Editing
Yes. I used the shadow and contrast adjustments to enhanced the details. The photo was originally in color, but I chose B&W to slightly deepen and bring out the features of the subject.In my camera bag
My new IPhone 12 in my purse. In the future I plan to invest in a new camera to replace the one I lost a good while ago. I’m just getting my sea legs steady again and loving every moment. I enjoy using my phone for quick captures and easy editing.Feedback
