Behind The Lens

Location

Balboa Park, San Diego

Time

Mid Afternoon

Lighting

It was simply the way the sun naturally came in and was diffused by the slats of the building.

Equipment

Nikon D3000 with the kit lens

Inspiration

The color and the soft 'glow' around the flower.

Editing

I didn't do any post processing on this photo.

In my camera bag

I typically carry 2 kit lenses, a 'nifty fifty', extra memory cards, and a couple of external flashes.

Feedback

Just gain an eye for the way the light plays on plant life to be able to use the print as is rather than having to do much, if any, post production.
