Behind The Lens

Location
This was taken along highway 380 near Graham Texas
Time
This was taken mid-afternoon
Lighting
The incoming storm muted the light quite well!
Equipment
This was taken with a Canon 70D and 16-35mm lens
Inspiration
I was stopped to take pictures of a car graveyard across the street when the storm rolled in
Editing
This was massaged slightly using Lightroom
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
Shooting lightning is tough! Be patient....
