Location
This is St Elmo, a ghost town at the top of a mountain near Bueno Vista ColoradoTime
This was taken early afternoonLighting
Light was pretty harsh on a cloudless spring dayEquipment
I used a Canon M50 and 7Artizens Fisheye lens for this shotInspiration
I was exploring the ghost town and just happily snapping away!Editing
This was massaged a bit 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
I always look for ghost towns when traveling, you find some interesting places!
