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 shaded

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon 80D and Sigma 18-300mm lens

Inspiration

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 soon

Editing

This was converted to mono and massaged to bring out a little more contrast 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

Wear a mask and social distance so we can get past this COVID thing and enjoy hanging out again! 8^)
