Behind The Lens

Location

this was taken in a trainyard on Galveston Island, Texas

Time

This was taken around mid-day

Lighting

The afternoon sun was a bit harsh on a cloudless day!

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon M50 mirrorless camera

Inspiration

There were a line of abandoned passenger cars nearby that I wanted to shoot, the line of engines I found along the way was too tempting to pass up a shot of though

Editing

This is an HDR composed of 3 different exposures

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

This was a pretty impromptu shot
