Thanks. I was there for a comedy show and cameras weren't allowed. I was a little upset about that, but I'm pretty pleased with what I captured with my phone.

Location
I took this photo in the Coronado Theater in Rockford, IL.Time
This picture was taken after a comedy show around 11pm.Lighting
The lights had come on after the show and that's when I noticed the ceiling. I relied on the theater chandeliers for lighting.Equipment
There were no cameras allowed at the show, so I just used me phone (Samsung Galaxy S9)Inspiration
This ceiling was too cool not to capture. I was inspired by the lines, shapes, and different textures.Editing
I actually used 2 different editing programs for this picture. First, I used the Photo Editor Pro App on my phone to tilt and straighten. The theater was crowed and so I has to stand off to the side a little. I wanted the end result as symmetrical as possible, so I did that during editing. Then, I used a free version of Photoshop where I adjusted light, contrast, filtered, and dehazed.In my camera bag
I usually just have my camera (Nikon Coolpix B500), extra batteries, and a lens cloth in my bag.Feedback
When capturing ceilings, I usually try and get as low to the ground as possible. Take your time, and always try different angles. If you know that you'll have to straighten during editing, go wider than you think to allow yourself room to straighten and tilt in editing. Always remember to look up, down, and all round or you might miss out on a great picture!
