Just after SunsetLighting
the torch was my lightingEquipment
My Canon 7d and 70-200mmInspiration
this was a Balloon lighting and everyone was focused on the balloons, they are neat to see when they light them up at night but this burner was something unique that caught my eye. I spent the majority of the time looking for the right shot to capture all the color and brilliance of that flame.Editing
not really a little color balance, exposure and grain smoothing.In my camera bag
I typically carry an array of lenses and filters but the truth is I have a few go to lenses my primary lens is my canon 70-200 and my second favorite is my "nifty 50" in the bag I keep a few wide angles and a prime, when I am looking for wildlife I like to take my 300mm also. The rest of the kit contains filters, an off camera flash and some cleaning supplies.Feedback
Look for the out of ordinary, So often when I travel I see all the photographers standing in the same place taking the same pictures. I am guilty of wearing out the same spots as well but I find that if I wonder away and look around I end up capturing something unique and exciting. It's those pictures that seem to be more well liked and draw more attention. So I guess my advice is make your own trails and explore!
