Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in Klyde Warren park in downtown Dallas

Time

I shot this just after lunch time, the bird was looking for handouts...

Lighting

Not that I remember, this is an older shot....

Equipment

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

Inspiration

I was waiting to board the trolley and saw this guy, I caught the shot just in time...

Editing

very little was done to this shot, just a bit of cleanup in 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 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

just have fun shooting!
