Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at the Dallas Arboretum

Time

It was early afternoon

Lighting

The light was pretty harsh, I was playing with depth of field looking for something interesting in the shot...

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon 70D and 85mm F1.8 prime lens

Inspiration

I was just enjoying an October festival at the park looking for interesting subjects...

Editing

This is actually an older shot taken in JPG, before I learned to use RAW - I played with shadow/contrast as much as I thought wise...

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

have fun and keep shooting!
