Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at the Manoir St-Sauveur in Quebec, Canada, while visiting their restaurant for Sunday brunch with my family.Time
The picture was taken around noon time in the middle of winter in Canada.Lighting
The hallway was primarily lit by natural light from the sun, with little lighting provided by the incandescent lights on the walls. The large windows gave for beautiful light penetration into the hall.Equipment
The shot was taken using a handheld D7100 with a 35mm f1.8 prime lens. In this case, my equipment options was limited to what I was lugging around that day in my hand. Since the purpose of my visit was primarily to capture family moments, I didn't have a huge selection of equipment to choose from.Inspiration
In fact I was not planning on taking pictures that day. I was carrying my camera around to take pictures of my family during a day trip to St-Sauveur to celebrate my Grand-Mother's birthday (89). While we were leaving a few of us had a quick trip to the little boys and girls rooms, and I randomly peaked down this hallway. I was quickly inspired by the beautiful and well kept architecture.Editing
Yes. Photo-processing involved a combination of Lightroom and Photoshop adjustments primarily to clarity and contrast, as well as give it gradient blurs to deepen the hallway.In my camera bag
I generally carry my D600 with my 24mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8, 105mm f2.8, and 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 for the rare zoom requirement. Other than that, I'll generally have an extra battery, a few extra SD cards, my remote trigger, a swiss army knife, tripod (in a separate carry bag), flash, and a waterproof wrap incase of heavy rain. The weight generally doesn't bother me. I blend it into my workout.Feedback
The only advice I have, and the advice I read the most when researching new techniques, is to continuously shoot pictures. The more practice you get, the more agile you become with your equipment and creativity. I generally carry my camera everywhere I go because I dont want to miss a thing and shoot 1 picture a day at minimum.
