Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in Montezuma new Mexico, just outside Las Vegas New Mexico

Time

This was taken just after the sun dropped below the horizon behind me

Lighting

I wasn't sure this shot would work, there was still a good bit of light from the college in front of me and twilight behind

Equipment

This was taken with a remote shutter release and mini-tripod, using a Canon 5D mark III and 16-24mm F2.8L lens.

Inspiration

If I know I'll be in an area a while I'll research old bridges, they make some pretty cool subjects. They moved the roadbed where this bridge is located, but left the old bridge intact

Editing

light and color were enhanced a bit in LightRoom, but not a lot of editing was done

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Canon 70D with a Tamron 16/300mm mounted, and a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses ranging from a 8mm diagonal fisheye to a Sigma 200-500mm telephoto depending on what I'll be shooting. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't get to plan a lot of shots beforehand - I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 17-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open

Feedback

Just use the fastest/widest lens you have, along with a tripod and remote shutter and go for it! Doing a bit of research beforehand to try and find cool locations never hurts either...
