Location
This was taken along the Texas State Railroad at an old station in MaydelleTime
This was almost straight up noonLighting
Light was all natural and a bit harshEquipment
This was taken with a Canon RP mirrorless camera and 24-240mm lensInspiration
We were camping in the area and exploring the station in Palestine - the train left while we were there so I dashed out to get ahead of itEditing
This was massaged a bit using LightroomIn 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
Just be safe! the historic railroad doesn't go very fast, I didn't have to do anything silly to get in front of it...
