Behind The Lens
Location
This is a historic jail in Cripple Creek Colorado. It's supposed to be haunted, but I didn't see any!Time
It would have been mid-day, but not much ambient light got in thereLighting
Light was scarce and all artificial - I made the most of what I could hand-held without a flashEquipment
This was taken hand-held with a Canon 80D and 18-300mm superzoomInspiration
I was in Cripple Creek seeing the sights and the jail sounded interestingEditing
This was massaged slightly and converted to mono 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 a 16-35mm wide angle, various prime lenses, or some sort of zoom depending on what I'm shooting. I also tend to use super-zooms a lot so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
I look for a lot of quirky attractions when traveling, you never know what you'll find!
