Behind The Lens

Location

This is a charter sailboat in the Seattle seaport

Time

This was taken about 40 minutes before sunset

Lighting

The sun was setting and at a nice angle to the rigging

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon RP and 24-240mm lens

Inspiration

We were taking a sunset cruise on the sailboat and I was just pointing the camera everywhere...

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

playing with the horizon allowed me to use rigging as leading lines...
