Behind The Lens
Location
This is a shot taken inside St Louis Cathedral in New OrleansTime
this would have been mid afternoonLighting
light is mostly artificial but there is some natural light streaming in through the windowsEquipment
this was taken using a Canon 5D mkIII and 16-35mm F2.8L lensInspiration
I was exploring the French Quarter and the Cathedral is a must-visitEditing
This was massaged a bit in 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 experiment with different perspectives to try and find natural leading lines when taking shots like this, sometimes just raising/lowering the camera a bit makes a big difference
