Behind The Lens

Location

Thank you again for another feature . I took this image on the kitchen table .

Time

Was early morning .

Lighting

I used 2 flashes . Actually 3 one small ring flash for macro and 2 on the sides one with a diffuser

Equipment

Was a d800 3 ring extensions and a 100 mm tokina macro lens a tripod and a remote .

Inspiration

Macro photography always intrigued me . We can barely see this small insects in details and looking at them this way has a very big impact .

Editing

yes but just converted the image in Black and white to help the texture of the compound eyes .

In my camera bag

35 mm and the camera .

Feedback

try a reversing adaptor or a proper macro lens 1/1
