Behind The Lens

Location

This is one of the abandoned buildings at 'Slug Bug Ranch' outside of Amarillo (Cadillac Ranch's hippie step-brother)

Time

This was taken Mid-Day

Lighting

Light was all ambient from the door and single window

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III and 16-35mm F2.8L lens

Inspiration

I was heading to the Texas Panhandle to go camping and check out some historic bridges in the area, and this was along the way

Editing

This is an HDR combined from 3 different exposures using Lightroom

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 various prime lenses or some sort of super-zoom so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.

Feedback

I find a lot of these weird places using Atlas Obscura or Roadside America
