Behind The Lens

Location

This is a very old shot taken on my first outing with my first real DSLR.... this was taken during a KaboomTown July 4th celebration in Addison Texas

Time

This was taken late afternoon

Lighting

all ambient lighting was used for this outdoor shot

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon T4i and Sigma 250mm lens

Inspiration

I had just purchased my first DSLR and was dying to try it out...

Editing

This was massaged slightly using 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.

Feedback

I was just leaning when I took this shot - I do wish I had started saving pictures in RAW format and not JPG sooner though
