Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in a park near my house in Dallas. The car show was just one of several events the city holds there throughout the year...Time
This was taken just past noon on a mid-summer dayLighting
The sun was pretty high and strong, making for some harsh highlights. They were toned down a bit by the color pop.Equipment
This was taken with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mm lensInspiration
I had just walked down to the park to see the cars, and couldn't resist bringing the camera :-)Editing
I used Lightroom to create the color pop in this shot.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 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 openFeedback
Don't be afraid to play with interesting angles. People too often just shoot from eye level...
