Behind The Lens
Location
This is an abandoned bridge near Newcastle, TexasTime
This was taken around noonLighting
The light was directly overhead, but a fence kept me from getting close enough for real shadowsEquipment
This was taken with a canon 80D and Sigma 18-300mm lensInspiration
This is the second time I've shot this bridge - the first time it was very overgrown with trees, but I didn't have decent lenses with me - I went back the next time I was in the area to find they'd cut them all down!Editing
a little light and contrast work was done in Lightroom.In my camera bag
These days I normally carry a Canon 80D with a Sigma 18/300mm 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'f I'm going light I'll carry an M50 with smaller/lighter lens. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling; I often don't get to plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer, but I will throw tripods and remotes in the car 'just in case'. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 18-300mm Sigma though, the Sigma's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open.Feedback
Don't be afraid to go back and see how things have changed over time, you never know!
