Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at the State Fair of Texas last year, before COVID (2019) .Time
This was taken right at dark-30 - they have a nightly parade around the fairgroundsLighting
light is all ambient and provided by the fairground lighting - I was too far away for a flash to do much good anywayEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 5d mkIII and 85mm prime lensInspiration
I was just wandering the fair and stopped to view the paradeEditing
this was only slightly massaged in 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
This was a pretty impromptu shot, just get out and have fun!
