Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in the Fort Worth Stockyards

Time

This would have been taken in late morning

Lighting

It was an overcast day so light was muted

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mms lens

Inspiration

I was recoverying from knee surgery and looking for interesting locations to walk around on it...

Editing

This is an older shot done in JPG so not much processing was possible

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Canon 80D (I finally wore out the shutter in my trusty 70D) with a Tamron 16/300mm 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'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 various prime lenses and the 16-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open - stay tuned though, the Tamron has issues with the 80D so there's a Sigma 18-300mm on the way as a possible replacement... :-)

Feedback

Shoot in RAW for more dynamic range
