Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken along a walking trail in Goldfield Colorado - Goldfield is pretty much a ghost town, the old mines set aside a lot of land for hiking trails along the many mines in the areaTime
This was shot just after noonLighting
Light wasn't too harsh, there was a whispy cloud coverEquipment
This was taken using a Canon 80D and 18-300mm zoomInspiration
I was staying in the area looking for old abandoned structure, the old processing plant fit the bill!Editing
This was massaged 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
Old industrial structures are always fun to explore - just be safe, stay legal, leave only footsteps and take only pictures! :)
