Behind The Lens

Location

This is an older shot taken in front of the Kessler Theater in the Bishop Arts District near downtown Dallas

Time

This was taken just after dark

Lighting

This was taken using available light from the neon of the old movie theater

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mm lens.

Inspiration

I was seeing the show at the theater and shooting night shots during a break.

Editing

This is an older shot taken while I was still shooting in JPG. A bit of processing was done using Elements, but it wasn't processed heavily

In my camera bag

These days my 'walk about' setup is a Canon RP Mirrorless with a 24-240mm lens, but I'll also carry a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses if I'm looking to shoot something specific. I do have a couple of crop sensor bodies if I want a bit more reach, the extra magnification from the 1.6 crop factor helps there. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with a 16-35mm wide angle, various prime lenses, or some sort of zoom depending on what I'm shooting. I also tend to use super-zooms a lot so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.

Feedback

I always shoot in RAW these days so I have the most data to work with
