Location
On a 2-week train trip across Canada, a stop in Montreal allowed us to hop on a bus tour. It took us past this magnificent building, Saint Joseph's Oratory.Time
It was afternoon, about 4pm.Lighting
The overcast skies gave the scene almost a painterly feel - no shadows!Equipment
Shot with my Nikon Coolpix P900, zoomed to 320 mm, 35mm equivalent. Hand held.Inspiration
The central flight of 99 wooden steps is reserved for pilgrims who wish to climb on their knees. Pretty inspiring!Editing
The lower lamp pole on the left had a car parked in front of it, which I retouched out.In my camera bag
These days I usually just carry an Oly OMD with a Samyang 7.5m fisheye and my Nikon P900Feedback
Keep your camera in your hand, not in your bag. Bring plenty of SD cards and shoot whatever catches your eye, don't be too critical. My mentor used to say you can tell a professional by the size of his wastebasket.
