Behind The Lens

Location

In Uppsala, Sweden, on a greyish kinda day weather wise, I suddenly saw a few lovely sparkling poppies growing nearby where I live, and went there with my macro lens.

Time

19.28 an evening in the end of May 2012, to be very exact... ;-)

Lighting

Only natural light was used.

Equipment

Canon 550d, with a 100 mm USM macro lens, handheld.

Inspiration

I love to get really close to stuff and see how it looks like, it's often so different close up, so that's what I did here as well.

Editing

Not much, it's pretty much SOOC, I maybe adjusted the brightness/contrast a tiny bit to get more vibrant colours, like it was in reality.

In my camera bag

I normaly just bring the camera. And maybe a little snack to not starve, since there might be lots of waiting for butterflies to land and other perfect moments to appear.

Feedback

Practice a lot with your macro lens, search for your "photo models" in plant shape everywhere, and wait for the right light to appear once you found them! Return there another day and see what's different. Take lots of shots!
