Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at the Addison Texas airport during the KaboomTown 4th of July airshow

Time

this would have been taken late afternoon

Lighting

there were some long shadows, but the angle on this shot doesn't really bring them out

Equipment

Wow, I had just bought my first DSLR - this was taken with Canon T4i camera and kit lens

Inspiration

I was just having fun at the airshow with my new toy!

Editing

I shot this in JPG, so very little was done in Post

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

Shoot in RAW if you have the software to handle it, you'll be able to do so much more in post processing...
