Behind The Lens

Location

This is a sunset shot of the "Blueprints" sculpture in Circle Park in Addison Texas

Time

This was taken at sunset

Lighting

Lighting was strange that day. Storms were in the area and the colors were very vibrant. The camera has problems with white balance, and there's nothing really white in the shot so I wasn't able to correct things well - I just went with the weird colors!

Equipment

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

Inspiration

There was supposed to be an outside concert in the park that night, but it was canceled due to the storms - I just walked around looking for something else to shoot!

Editing

very little was done to this shot

In my camera bag

These days I normally carry a Canon 80D with a Sigma 18/300mm 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'f I'm going light I'll carry an M50 with smaller/lighter lens. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling; I often don't get to plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer, but I will throw tripods and remotes in the car 'just in case'. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 18-300mm Sigma though, the Sigma's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open.

Feedback

in hindsight, try and make sure you have something easily identifiable as white in the shot so you can correct white balance!
