Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, Canada

Time

This was taken around noon

Lighting

It was a pretty overcast day so light was a bit muted

Equipment

This was taken with a Samsung S20 cellphone

Inspiration

Victoria was a stop on a cruise we were taken, the gardens sounded like a fun excursion

Editing

This was massaged slightly using Lightroom (as a cell shot it was already in JPG format so there wasn't a lot of wiggle room to do a lot)

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.

Feedback

The best camera is the one you have with you! We weren't too sure about what the weather would do, so opted just to take the phone cameras
