Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at the Great Sand Dunes National Monument in Colorado

Time

This was shot just before noon on a chilly winter day

Lighting

The sun was nearly overhead on what turned out to be a mostly sunny day

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon EOS 70D and Tamron 18-400mm lens (after nearly killing the lens when I fell on ice earlier that morning)

Inspiration

This is one of my favorite parks, I always try and stop if I'm traveling through the area

Editing

light and color were enhanced slightly in Lightroom

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Canon 80D (I finally wore out the shutter in my trusty 70D) with a Sigma 18/300mm 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 plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 18-300mm Sigma though, the Sigma's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open

Feedback

Don't be afraid to re-visit areas you've shot in the past, there's always something new to discover
