Location
This is a shot of Bishop's Castle in ColoradoTime
This was taken early afternoonLighting
This was taken in bright sunlight on a mostly sunny dayEquipment
This was taken using a Canon EOS 80D and a Tamron 18-300mm lensInspiration
I was just traveling through the area and decided to stretch my legs - I'd visited the castle several times beforeEditing
This was massaged slightly 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 various prime lenses or some sort of super-zoom so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
Play with perspective - it doesn't always work, but you never know unless you try!
