Behind The Lens

Location

This is a VERY old shot taken in Florissant Fossil Beds in Colorado

Time

looks like mid day? LOL

Lighting

Was bright?

Equipment

This would have been taken with a Canon T4i, not sure what lens, it's been too long

Inspiration

I was exploring the area around Cripple Creek, Florissant Fossil Beds is a fun place to visit

Editing

This one is so old I was probably just using Irfanview or something similar

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

Experiment! This one is so old I was just pointing and clicking back then :-)
