Location
The Prohibition is one of the cool bars along Bourbon Street in New Orleans, they usually have live music, it's a fun place to visitTime
It's Bourbon Street: this was taken after dark!Lighting
Light was all ambient available light within the bar. The 5D doesn't have a built-in flash, but I doubt I'd have used it inside the bar even if it didEquipment
This was shot with a Canon 5d mk III and 85mm F1.8 prime lensInspiration
Normal tourism urge! I was wandering Bourbon Street after a day exploring the city and was taking in the band playingEditing
Very little was done in LightRoom on this shot, mostly just to lighten it up a bitIn 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 various prime lenses or some sort of super-zoom so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
Shooting in very low light is always a challenge - I often try and find something to rest the camera on as a makeshift tripod - for this shot I was resting my elbows on the bar to help steady the camera (the lens did not have any image stabilization)
