Behind The Lens

Location

Amboy, California - one of the inspirations for Radiator Springs in the Disney/ Pixar movie “Cars”

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

Sun was high in the sky. Used strictly natural light

Equipment

Canon 6d Mk ii, Rokinon 14 mm 2.8 lens, hand held

Inspiration

You can’t walk around Amboy and not be inspired. It’s a real modern day ghost town.

Editing

Tweaked the shot a little in post processing. Tried to give it a little vintage flair.

In my camera bag

My camera bag is always ready for whatever I might find. I usually have my Canon 70-200 2.8 EF (non-IS) on my camera. I’d love an IS version 3, but this little gem does just fine. I always have my Rokinon 14 mm 2.8, my Canon 24-105 f4, my Canon 16-35 2.8 and my Canon nifty 50. Also a flash just incase, as well as reflectors for portraits.

Feedback

The deserts of California are full of surprises. I never leave my house with out my camera bag because there is always something worthy of capturing.
