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 area

Time

This was shot just after noon

Lighting

Light wasn't too harsh, there was a whispy cloud cover

Equipment

This was taken using a Canon 80D and 18-300mm zoom

Inspiration

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 Lightroom

In 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! :)
