Location
This was taken in the Farmers Branch Rose Garden near my houseTime
This was shot around noonLighting
Lighting was direct and harsh for this shotEquipment
This was taken with a Canon EOS 80D and 300mm F4L lensInspiration
I had gone to the park to follow the Monarch migration and happened to come across this little guyEditing
This was massaged slightly using LightroomIn 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 various prime lenses or some sort of super-zoom so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
