Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the upstairs of the old Cleveland Trust Rotunda building in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The building is on E. 9th street and can be seen in the background during the final battle scene in the first Avengers movie.

Time

The photo was taken on a lunch time trip to go see a free holiday concert that was happening in the building, so it was taken some time around noon.

Lighting

The light coming through the window and hitting the red chair instantly caught my eye and caused me to get my phone out and snap a picture.

Equipment

This photo was taken in 2013 with my iPhone 4S. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

The light coming in through the window caught my attention as it lit up the red chair.

Editing

I slightly adjusted the levels.

In my camera bag

I have a Canon 70D with 50 mm f/1.4 and a 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses.

Feedback

I entered this photo into an amateur photo contest on our local newspaper's website. Many of the commenters said that it was clearly the work of a professional with high end equipment. They had no idea it was taken with an iPhone 4S, but what this taught me was that lighting is everything!
