Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken on Canal Street in New OrleansTime
This was shot just after mid-day on a cold January day (they hadn't yet taken down the Christmas ornaments)Lighting
It was basically clear and cloudless, so the light and shadows were pretty harshEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mm lensInspiration
I was just wandering around the city during the off season a few years agoEditing
This was tweaked a bit in Lightroom, with all the colors de-saturated except RedIn 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
I often travel during the off season in order to avoid crowds, but this trip backfired a bit - it was the coldest week in years in New Orleans - DOH!
