Behind The Lens
Location
This is the abandoned 1890's Woodson suspension bridge in Shackelford county TexasTime
This would have been shot in early afternoonLighting
it was a partly cloudy day, but this was taken in shadowEquipment
This was taken with a 5D Mark III and Canon 16-35mm F2.8L lensInspiration
I always check Bridgehunter before going camping to see if there are any interesting bridges in an area - this one qualified!Editing
A little light correction was done in LightroomIn 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
Bridgehunter is a good site for locating interesting bridges if you're traveling and looking for something different to shoot
