Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken along the Caddo river in Caddo Lake State Park. Caddo Lake was the only natural lake in Texas, but they've since built a proper dam to replace the huge natural log jam that initally form it.Time
This was taken in late afternoon on a nearly cloudless summer dayLighting
The sun was still pretty bright, it wasn't close to sunset yetEquipment
This was taken with a Canon T4i and a Tamron 18-250mm lensInspiration
This was my first time camping in this park and just wandering around seeing the sights when I came across the people paddling.Editing
This is an older shot taken before I learned to shoot in RAW - since the original was done in JPG I didn't have a lot of wiggle room for processing; other than conversion to monochrome not a lot was done to this shotIn 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
always shoot in RAW if you have the software to work with the photos, you can always convert to JPG later - the extra data makes a big difference when it comes to processing your shots!
