Behind The Lens
Location
This fountain is in the Texas State Fairgrounds in DallasTime
This would have been taken late afternoonLighting
the sun was getting low but it wasn't quite the golden hourEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 80D and Tamron 16-300mm lensInspiration
This was taken at an Irish Festival - they were using the field for a sheepdog demonstration and the fountain caught my eyeEditing

I normally carry a Canon 80D (I finally wore out the shutter in my trusty 70D) with a Tamron 16/300mm 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'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 and the 16-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the openFeedback
Play with aperture settings and moving water - fast speeds/low numbers will 'freeze' water, slow speeds/higher numbers will give a more silky effect
