Location
This was taken in the Rose Garden of Farmers Branch, a park near my houseTime
This was taken around mid dayLighting
Light was really pretty harsh, which made for some interesting shadowsEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 80D and 300mm f/4L lensInspiration
I was just wandering the park for something socially-distant to do and came across this little guyEditing
This was massaged a bit to help level the contrast 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 had really intended to take butterfly pictures this day, it was during the fall migration - keep your eyes open when shooting wildlife though, you never know what else is lurking around!
