Location
This was taken in Medicine Mound, a ghost town near Paduca TexasTime
This was taken early afternoonLighting
there were a few clouds but light was still pretty harshEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 5D mkIII and 16-35mm MKIII F2.8L lensInspiration
I was camping nearby and exploring the area. I've shot Medicine Mound several times, it disappears a bit more each time :(Editing

I normally carry a Canon RP or 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 openFeedback
There are several websites that will list ghost towns, including Wikipedia - some are a lot more interesting than others!
