Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken (I think!) at the Texas Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, Texas. This is an OLD photo taken with a film camera and scanned into the computer....

Time

This was taken in the late 80's to early 90's, I honestly don't remember!

Lighting

LOL, looks like it was an overcast day?

Equipment

This would have been taken with a Pentax K1000 SLR (no "D" before the S!), and I think a 70-300mm lens. I gave the camera to one of my nephews many years ago, but I've wished I still had it several times.

Inspiration

I was just watching the races and playing with the camera.

Editing

This is just a straight scan of a printed photo.

In my camera bag

These days I normally carry a Canon 80D with a Sigma 18/300mm mounted, and a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses, ranging from a 8mm diagonal fisheye to a Sigma 200-500mm telephoto depending on what I'll be shooting. I'f I'm going light I'll carry an M50 with smaller/lighter lens. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling; I often don't get to plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer, but I will throw tripods and remotes in the car 'just in case'. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 18-300mm Sigma though, the Sigma's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open.

Feedback

LOL,on this shot?
