Behind The Lens
Location
This is a shot of the line of pinball machines at the Bishop Cidercade in DallasTime
This would have been right around noon when they opened, I had to run to catch them all emptyLighting
Lighting is all ambient and it was very dark inside, it was a bit of a challenge to take and process the shotEquipment
This was shot using a Canon EOS M50 and 18-150mm lens (I wanted something small that wouldn't get in the way)Inspiration
I just thought I could get some interesting shots in the arcade - lighting was a challenge thoughEditing
This was massaged slightly using LightroomIn 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
If you know you'll be shooting in dark areas select a camera with good dynamic range (the little M50 struggled)
