Behind The Lens

Location

In my back yard

Time

Late afternoon.

Lighting

Lighting was all natural from the sun.

Equipment

I used a Canon T3, standard 18mm-55mm kit lens, with a screw on macro filter (+2 power)

Inspiration

I was doing yard work when I saw this egg perched just right on the grass. I stopped what I was doing, went in to get my camera, and started shooting.

Editing

The only post processing in the image was boosting the colors a bit, as well as the contrast.

In my camera bag

My bag is very simple, my camera, two kit lenses (18mm-55mm standard and 70mm-300mm zoom) as well as a 50mm prime. I also have various extension tubes and screw on lens filters for macro use (+1, +2, & +4).

Feedback

Always be on the lookout for ordinary things that can become an extraordinary image. There is a lot around us everyday that is easy to overlook.
