Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in Stockyards Station at the Fort Worth Stockyards, there is a hjuge candy store among the shops there.Time
This would have been taken mid-morning.Lighting
This may as well have been taken at night - Stockyards Station is a huge enclosed pen that was built to unload livestock from trains on the way to a meat packing plant, all light is artificialEquipment
This was taken handheld with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mm lens (I was doing my best to impersonate a steady tripod though)Inspiration
I didn't have anything better to do that weekend so I got up early and drove over to the stockyards to try and get some shots before the tourists arrived - they have a 'cattle drive' where they herd about 30 longhorns down the street about mid-day, it starts getting crowded about then.Editing
This is an HDR created from three different exposures using Lightroom.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 various prime lenses or some sort of super-zoom so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
I like to capture destination photos without too many people in them to reduce distractions, so if possible plan visits outside of the popular times for people to be sight-seeing.
