Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at the Moody Gardens aquarium on Galveston Island, Texas

Time

it was mid day but very dark in this portion of the aquarium

Lighting

The room was very dark and I was shooting through Glass

Equipment

I used a Canon R10 and 24-240mm lens for this shot

Inspiration

I was camping on the island and we took in the aquarium while we were there

Editing

This was massaged a bit 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

Aquariums and zoos are always good for critter pics
