Location
This was taken in the lobby/restaurant of the Jackson Lake Lodge in Wyoming, looking out over the Grand Teton mountainsTime
Wow, this shot is 7 or 8 years old, but I think it was taken in early afternoon on an fall afternoonLighting
it was still pretty light outside, so the contrast between the interior lighting made for some decent silhouettesEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 4Ti and 70-300mm kit lens - this was my first vacation with my first 'real' DSLR, I didn't have a large lens collection to chose from yet!Inspiration
Gee, the view, and the fact that I was playing with my first real digital camera and shooting just about everything I saw!Editing
There was very little processing done to this, probably using Lightroom Elements or IrfanView - I was still very green behind the ears, shooting in JPG and I didn't have access to great editors yetIn 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
When just starting out, shoot a LOT, try and remember what changes you made for each shot (Check EXIF info), and learn what works and what doesn't - learning what doesn't work is as important as learning what does!
