Behind The Lens

Location

This is a footbridge along one of the trails leading to the abandoned Aldridge Sawmill near Zavalla, Texas`

Time

This was taken mid-morning

Lighting

This was taken during a brief hole in the clouds during what provided to be a very rainy camping trip!

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon RP Mirrorless camera and 24-240mm lens

Inspiration

Camping seemed to be a good excuse to get out of the house and still social distance, the saw mill looked like an interesting destination

Editing

this was tweaked a bit and converted to mono 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 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

Monochrome allows you to push clarity and texture harder than you normally would in a color shot, without things looking too unnatural, try it, you may like it!
