Photo Friday Shapes Winner – Aleksandra

Posted in Features on Tuesday, September 17 2013

What camera did you use?
Canon EOS 60D, 35mm f/2 lens

What settings did you use?
Shutter 1/5 sec, f/6.3, ISO 100, handheld

What inspired this shot?
I’m a member of 365project.org and we had a theme called ‘slowdown’.  I thought I’d experiment with a slow shutter and street photography on my way home from work one afternoon. I’ve been drawn to shooting within this arcade for some time but thought I’d try a different perspective to the shots I’d seen from within this arcade in the past. This image ended up in the top 5 for the theme which I was very happy with.

Did you edit this image, if so what did you do and with what program?
I converted this image to Black and White in Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 and corrected lens distortion using Photoshop CS6.

Do you have any advice for our community of photographers?
Try new things, experiment and keep shooting. You never know what you’ll capture if you don’t press that shutter.

Where was this photo taken?
This photo was taken in Adelaide Arcade, Adelaide, South Australia.
