Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken on the midway at the Texas State FairTime
This was taken mid afternoonLighting
Light was harsh outside, but shaded nicely under the carrousel - that helped slow things down for the panning shotEquipment
This was taken using a Canon 80D and 18-300mm lensInspiration
I was just exploring the fair and looking for interesting shotsEditing
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 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
Panning takes a bit of practice but isn't really hard, give it a try!
