Behind The Lens

Location

This is the riverwalk in Downtown San Antonio

Time

This was taken late afternoon on a cloudy day

Lighting

Light was very muted at the time. I was new to DSLRs and still shooting in JPG mode

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon T4i and 18-250mm lens

Inspiration

I was new to DSLR's at the time and exploring San Antonio - I was never happy with color versions of this shot...

Editing

I was new to DSLRs and still shooting in JPG mode - I never could get the light-balance to something I was happy with, and had just obtained a subscription to Lightroom - this was one of my first experiments!

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

If you plan on doing any Post processing work shoot in RAW!
