Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at the Farmers Branch Farmers Market, in, well, Farmers Branch Texas...Time
This was taken late afternoon. There is a stage in the park where they play live music during the market, and the city brings in Food Trucks. It's a fun weekend diversion (or it was before COVID hit... )Lighting
The vendors are under canopies, and the park is well shaded from established trees, so things are pretty shadedEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 80D and Sigma 18-300mm lensInspiration
The market was a favorite weekend hangout before COVID, I often hung out with a camera. Hopefully they'll be able to start holding the events again soonEditing
This was converted to mono and massaged to bring out a little more contrast 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
Wear a mask and social distance so we can get past this COVID thing and enjoy hanging out again! 8^)
