Behind The Lens
Location
THis was taken at the North Texas Irish Festival, held in Dallas at the Texas State Fairgrounds every springTime
This would have been early afternoonLighting
it was an overcast day so the light was pretty soft. I was just wandering around, so no setup was doneEquipment
This was taken hand-held with a Canon 5D Mk III and 85mm prime lensInspiration
This guy and his little friend were just too charismatic not to snap a shot of!Editing
I did very little processing on this shot, mostly just cropping and a bit of color enhancementIn my camera bag
I normally carry a Canon 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 get to plan a lot of shots beforehand - I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 17-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the openFeedback
This was pretty impromptu, I really just went there for the festival...
