Behind The Lens

Location

This shot is of the lower level staircase in the Nasher sculpture museum in Dallas

Time

This was taken near noon,

Lighting

the light coming through the windows on the first level helped illuminate the edges of the staircase and shadow the underside

Equipment

I lost the info on this one, but I believe it was taken with a Canon 70D camera and EF-s 10-18mm lens

Inspiration

The museum allows photography, so I was wandering around shooting various pieces when the staircase caught my eye

Editing

This is an HDR combo of three different exposures

In my camera bag

These days I normally carry a Canon 70D with a Tamron 16/300mm mounted, and a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses ranging from a 8mm diagonal fisheye to a Sigma 200-500mm telephoto depending on what I'll be shooting. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't get to plan a lot of shots beforehand - I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 17-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open. There is a bit of barrel distortion, but nothing that Lightroom can't handle.

Feedback

Be cognizant of your surroundings - sometimes the best shot isn't what you think!
