Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken a few years ago at the Ventura County Fair in California.

Time

It was late afternoon/evening when the photo was taken.

Lighting

Obviously all natural light. Later in the day with a low/ warm sun.

Equipment

Canon 7D, Canon 70-200 L f4 lens. Handheld.

Inspiration

The action and the power of the scene compelled the photo.

Editing

White balance, color and lens profile corrections in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Now: Canon 5d MkIII, 24-7- f2.8L, 70-200 f2.9L IS, 16-35 F2.8, 24-105 F4L IS, 50mm F1.4, 2x Teleconverter, Canon flash and various accessories.

Feedback

I like using speed priority for fast moving work and set the ISO to something where I can achieve motion stopping shutter speeds. Also, location, location, location matters when composing the image.
