This is a footbridge along one of the trails leading to the abandoned Aldridge Sawmill near Zavalla, Texas`Time
This was taken mid-morningLighting
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 lensInspiration
Camping seemed to be a good excuse to get out of the house and still social distance, the saw mill looked like an interesting destinationEditing
this was tweaked a bit and converted to mono using LightroomIn 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!
