Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in Bitter Lake NWR near Roswell NM

Time

This was taken right at sunset

Lighting

The sun was already below the horizon and really brought out the colors in the clouds

Equipment

I used a Canon RP and 24-240 lens for this shot

Inspiration

We were exploring the Roswell area and the WMA always has critters to see

Editing

This was massaged slightly 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

the management areas aren't always well advertised - I always research if any are in the area, you never know what you'll find
