Love it. Looks so easy until trying it. Just couldn't get what I was seeing through the lens and into the picture. Well done ????

Behind The Lens
Location
The bold and angular shapes took my attention in the middle of a busy work day and the equally busy streets of downtown Toronto. I gazed up and quickly snapped this shot while rushing back to work from break.Time
I recall it being around 1pm, trying to stand still and fight the rush hour crowd to get one good quick shot so I can get back to work.Lighting
I had no plan. Without too much thinking, I just shot to accommodate the angles that struck me.Equipment
I was hoping I wouldn't have to admit this but this image is taken with my LG G4 phone, which has amazing on the go capabilities such as shooting raw and manual controls. Taken without a tripod or flash, only using the natural light this beautiful universe provides us.Inspiration
I have been on a journey to recognize more of the beauties of this concrete jungle we call Toronto. I love looking up, which most people often forget to do, I can almost always spot something I haven't noticed before.Editing
Minimal post processing went into this image. A tiny bit of post HDR effects, a little bit of playing with filters and a tiny crop to compensate for the lack of optical zoom and push the image that one step further.In my camera bag
I'm a Canon girl but not fancy. Using an old Canon 20D with various lenses such as Canon 58mm and 70-300mm, which at this point cost more than the camera itself. On the go, I usually prefer my LG G4, which is my dark deep secret although the digital zoom sets me back, this phone captures colours beautifully.Feedback
I shot some of my best images without too much planning but just shooting what captured me visually in that moment.
