Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at the "general store" in Luckenbach Texas (yes, that Luckenbach!)Time
This was right around last light on open mic nightLighting
Light is almost all artificial on this shot, only a few rays of the sun remainedEquipment
I used a Canon 70D and 18-300mm superzoom for this shotInspiration
I was hanging out in Luckenbach on open mic night and just exploring the placeEditing
This was massaged a bit using LightroomIn 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
Luckenbach is a cool place, there's 'something' going on there most nights...
